Prediction of Myocardial Injury After Non-Cardiac Surgery in Urologic Cancer Patients
200 participantsStarted 2026-06-01
Plain-language summary
This prospective multicenter observational study aims to evaluate the predictive value of artificial intelligence-based analysis of preoperative 12-lead electrocardiography for myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 30 days after surgery in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery for urologic cancer.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 60 years
* Patients scheduled for major non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia due to urologic cancer (e.g., radical prostatectomy, radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy)
* Patients who undergo preoperative standard 12-lead electrocardiography
* Patients classified as having intermediate or higher surgical risk
* Patients who can be followed for at least 30 days postoperatively
* Patients who voluntarily provide written informed consent to participate in this study
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 6 months prior to surgery
* Inability to obtain essential clinical information required for study participation and follow-up
* Patients who are not hospitalized after surgery
* Individuals deemed inappropriate for participation in the study by the investigator due to legal or psychiatric reasons
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is specifically focused on urologic cancer patients — given my type of urologic cancer and the surgery I'm facing, does my situation fit the kind of patients this trial is looking to include?
2Since this study is about predicting myocardial injury after surgery rather than testing a new treatment, what would actually be done to me as a participant — for example, would I have extra blood tests or heart monitoring beyond what I'd normally receive?
3The trial isn't recruiting yet — if I'm scheduled for surgery soon, could I realistically wait for this study to open, or would it make more sense to proceed with standard pre-surgical cardiac care right now?
4Since this is an observational prediction study, would participating give me any direct benefit, like earlier detection of heart injury after my surgery, or would the findings mainly help future patients?
5How significant is the risk of myocardial injury after the type of urologic surgery I need, and should I be asking about heart monitoring regardless of whether I join this trial?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
