ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how often heart injury happens after lumbar (lower back) surgery that is not related to the heart, and what factors might increase the risk of this happening. The researchers want to better understand if patients having planned lower back surgery experience any heart problems during or after the procedure, especially focusing on a condition called myocardial injury, which means damage to the heart muscle.

Adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for elective lumbar stabilization surgery may be eligible to join the study. People with a recent heart attack (within the last 30 days), a history of heart surgery, or consistently high levels of a heart-related protein called troponin will not be able to participate. If you join the trial, the medical team will monitor your heart health closely before, during, and after your back surgery to check for any signs of heart injury. This study is not yet recruiting participants but aims to help improve care and outcomes for patients undergoing this type of surgery in the future.
