This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Doctors know that the heart can be injured during hip surgery, even in people without heart disease. This study is testing whether the type of anesthesia you receive—either general anesthesia (where you're fully asleep) or spinal anesthesia (where medication numbs you from the waist down)—makes a difference in protecting your heart. Researchers will monitor your heart closely before, during, and after surgery to see which approach is safer.
Heart injuries after non-cardiac surgery are common in older adults and can lead to serious complications. This research aims to find the safest anesthesia method to reduce these risks, especially for elderly patients undergoing hip surgery.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia for your hip surgery. Before surgery, doctors will take a small blood sample to check your heart health. During and after surgery, your heart will be monitored carefully, and additional blood samples will be taken at 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery to check for any signs of heart stress. The study takes about 3 days from surgery through final blood tests.
