ClinConnect Summary

The VALIANCE Study is looking at the health risks for patients who have same-day noncardiac surgeries, which are operations that don’t involve the heart and allow patients to go home on the same day. As more complex surgeries are done on patients who may have other health issues, this study aims to understand how often serious problems, like heart attacks, happen after these surgeries and what factors might increase those risks. The goal is to develop tools that help identify which patients might be at higher risk before they have surgery.

To participate in the VALIANCE Study, you should be between 45 and 64 years old with at least one risk factor (like high blood pressure or diabetes), or at least 65 years old. You must be scheduled for an elective (planned) noncardiac surgery that will take at least 60 minutes in the operating room, and you need to provide written consent to join. If you decide to participate, you will help researchers gather important information that can improve the safety of same-day surgeries for future patients.
