Trial information
A Study of NT-Pro-Brain Peptide (NT-proBNP) in Patients Scheduled for Major Vascular Surgery.
Status: Recruiting
Protocol number: DECREASE-VI
Company division: Diagnostic
Official Scientific Title: A prospective study to assess the screening value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for the identification of patients that benefit from additional cardiac testing prior to vascular surgery.
Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to validate the screening potential of NT-proBNP for the identification of patients scheduled for vascular surgery who would benefit from additional pre-operative cardiac testing. All patients will have NT-proBNP concentrations measured pre-operatively. For low-intermediate risk patients only those with abnormal values will receive further cardiac testing; all high risk patients will be referred for additional testing.
