MRI and heart monitoring to predict atrial fibrillation after bypass
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart MRI and a small heart rhythm monitor to see who is more likely to develop atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass surgery. If it works, it could help doctors spot higher-risk patients earlier and guide follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Plan to have coronary artery bypass surgery (no other heart surgery at the same time) at Saint-Étienne University Hospital
- Have social security coverage and be able to consent in the study
- Be able to have a cardiac MRI (no MRI-related contraindications)
- Have no reason you cannot receive an implanted heart rhythm monitor (ILR)
- Do not have a known history of atrial fibrillation

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 tests whether removing a small heart ligament during minimally invasive bypass surgery can lower the chance of developing an irregular heartbeat after the operation. It may help patients who are having this type of heart surgery to recover more smoothly.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
This study uses an MRI scan before heart surgery to look for heart scarring that may predict who will develop atrial fibrillation afterward. Knowing the risk ahead of time could help doctors monitor you more closely and plan prevention.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to get detailed pictures of the heart's structure and function in people with different types of atrial fibrillation (AF) and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand AF and improve future treatments.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to see if heart scarring matches low-voltage areas detected during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. If the scan results are consistent, it could help doctors better plan ablation procedures.
