Clinical Trial: Evaluation of the Incidence of Myocardial Damage Following Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in High-risk Patients

U.S., Sept. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07179549) titled 'Evaluation of the Incidence of Myocardial Damage Following Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in High-risk Patients' on Sept. 16.

Brief Summary: Hypoperfusion occurs following anaesthesia induction as a result of:

1. a reduction in venous return and cardiac output subsequent to the dilatation of the venous reservoir, and

2. a reduction in mean arterial pressure (MAP) secondary to arteriolar vasodilatation (reduction in arterial resistance) and decreased cardiac output. Many studies in the literature have focused on intraoperative hypotension and have reported an association between intensity x duration of hypotension and ...
