How redox balance during heart surgery with bypass might predict short-term outcomes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, single-center observational study investigates whether biomarkers of redox balance, including the tissue and blood levels of oxidants and reductants, can forecast short-term complications after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The study collects blood and tissue samples, along with functional walking tests, to explore associations between redox potential and post-operative outcomes. It aims to identify a potential biomarker that reflects how patients respond to the stress of cardiopulmonary bypass. Results could help with risk stratification and early intervention planning in this surgical population.
