The HIP ATTACK-2 Trial is researching if faster surgery for hip fractures in patients with heart issues (called acute myocardial injury) can help reduce deaths within 90 days. A hip fracture is a break in the hip bone, usually from a fall. The trial will compare quick surgery to regular care and see if faster surgery helps people walk sooner, shortens hospital stays, and improves quality of life. They will also look at other health problems, like heart attacks or strokes, which are complications that can happen after surgery.
Eligibility: You can join if you are 45 or older, have a hip fracture that needs surgery, and a high troponin level (a sign of heart stress). You can't join if you're on certain blood thinners, have other serious injuries, need emergency surgery for something else, or have severe heart problems.
- The study lasts for 90 days after surgery.
- You'll need to visit the hospital for the surgery and follow-ups.
- Doctors will monitor for any complications or improvements in your health.
