The VALIANCE Study is tracking 15,000 patients who are having same-day noncardiac surgery to understand how often heart complications happen after surgery and what factors increase the risk. Researchers will follow you for 90 days after your surgery, checking on your heart health, any other complications, pain levels, and how your quality of life is doing.
Doctors need better information about which patients undergoing same-day surgery are at higher risk for heart problems after surgery, so they can identify patients who need extra monitoring and develop tools to help predict and prevent complications.

You will complete a few questionnaires before your surgery about your activity level, frailty, and heart risk factors. After your surgery, you will be followed for 90 days with check-ins where researchers ask about your pain, any complications, and how you're feeling overall. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are tracking what happens naturally — not testing a new medication or treatment.
