Analyzing heart injury after prostate surgery
Evaluation of Intra- and Postoperative Cardiac Events in Patients With Localised Prostate Carcinoma and Radical Prostatectomy
This study is trying to see how often heart injury happens after prostate surgery and what factors might increase that risk for patients.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to prospectively analyze the rate of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy at the Martini-Clinic. It involves measuring pre- and postoperative troponin levels to identify risk factors associated with myocardial injury. The study will also document cardiovascular events during hospitalization and assess the correlation between troponin levels and these events. Additionally, it will evaluate the predictive value of the Revised Cardiac Risk Index in this patient population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with biopsy-proven prostate carcinoma scheduled for open or robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have prostate carcinoma or are not undergoing radical prostatectomy may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify patients at risk for myocardial injury, leading to improved postoperative care and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in identifying myocardial injury in surgical patients, suggesting that this approach is supported by existing research.
