Heart Rate Changes After Colorectal Surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures how your heart rate varies after planned colorectal surgery to see if these changes can predict complications. Researchers will monitor your heart rhythm before and after your operation to understand whether certain patterns might warn of problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Not taking certain heart or mood medications that affect heart rhythm
- No history of heart arrhythmias, heart failure, kidney failure, or uncontrolled diabetes with nerve damage
- No pacemaker or defibrillator implanted

This trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This study looks at whether heart rate variability (a measure of your heart's ability to adapt to stress) can help predict delirium (confusion or disorientation) after major abdominal surgery in older adults. You may qualify if you are 65-85 years old, having major abdominal surgery, and do not have serious heart, nervous system, or memory problems.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
This study looks at how often and how long an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) happens after planned open-heart surgery. It aims to better understand the “burden” of this rhythm problem, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study watches for an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation that can happen after heart surgery. The aim is to understand and manage this condition better to support recovery.
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.
