Studying new atrial fibrillation after heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how often atrial fibrillation happens soon after an acute heart attack, and who is most at risk. It may help doctors identify patients who need closer heart-rhythm monitoring after a hospital heart attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- You were hospitalized for an acute heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI) and developed new atrial fibrillation during that stay
- You received continuous heart rhythm monitoring in the hospital (CEM) for at least 5 days
- You must be able and willing to sign consent for the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses a simple single-lead ECG (heart rhythm recording) to predict whether a patient will develop atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem) within the next 2 hours. The goal is to help doctors detect and treat this condition earlier, potentially preventing complications.
This study tests whether giving a short course of a medication called amiodarone after heart surgery helps prevent or control new irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) and helps you leave the hospital sooner.
This study is for people who recently had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) for the first time while in the hospital or sick. It uses a small implantable heart monitor to see if the irregular heartbeat comes back over the next few years.
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
This trial looks at people who develop a new irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It tests an approach to help with that condition after critical illness, aiming to improve outcomes for those affected.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
