U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07865026) titled 'Epigenetic Susceptibility to Inflammatory Complications After Cardiac Surgery' on Sept. 21.
Brief Summary: This study aims to better understand 3 crucial questions:
1. Why do some patients experience more severe complications after heart surgery than others?
2. Are there markers on our genetic makeup (called epigenetic modifications) that can predict complications after major surgery?
3. How do epigenetic modifications lead to overactive inflammation that causes harm to patients after heart surgery?
Over 270,000 patients undergo major surgery in Scotland each year. Major surgery is associated with increased risk of complications,...
