Study heart rhythm problems after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at heart rhythm issues (especially atrial fibrillation) that can happen after certain heart procedures. It may help doctors better predict, prevent, or manage these rhythm problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a heart procedure: bypass surgery, valve surgery, or valve placement through a catheter
- The planned procedure should not be an emergency
- You can understand the study and give informed consent (or have consent you can provide)
- You are not pregnant
- Your care team considers it safe to follow the study plan around your surgery

This study collects information from people having heart surgery to help doctors learn more about recovery. If you are scheduled for surgery during the study period, you may be able to join.
This study uses an ultrasound test of the heart's right atrium to see if it can predict who will develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after planned coronary bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery and have no history of atrial fibrillation, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how often a fast, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) happens after heart valve or bypass surgery. Knowing this could help doctors take better care of patients after these procedures.
This study looks at why some people develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery. By studying patients who had surgery, researchers hope to identify warning signs and risk factors that could help prevent this complication.
This trial studies whether measuring how the upper chambers of the heart work together can help predict dangerous heart rhythms after heart surgery. If you are in normal heart rhythm and not having mitral valve surgery, this study may help doctors better prevent complications.
This study looks at whether people who have heart surgery (bypass or valve replacement) develop a fast, irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation after the operation. It may help doctors find ways to prevent or treat this condition.
