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 observational study focuses on identifying genetic predictors of adverse events following cardiac surgery, including complications like atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction, and heart failure. It involves analyzing blood and urine biomarkers alongside genetic data from patients undergoing heart surgery. The research is conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Texas Heart Institute, aiming to enhance understanding of genetic predispositions to postoperative complications.
