Watch-based heart rhythm monitoring after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a connected watch can help monitor an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery. It looks at people who develop new atrial fibrillation after surgery and compares how well monitoring works over the next 12 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (not a minor) having standard heart surgery
- You have no atrial fibrillation before surgery, but you develop new atrial fibrillation afterward
- You agree to wear/use the connected watch and be monitored for 12 months
- You have a smartphone that works with the watch and can do the watch ECG by yourself
- You must be able to do ECG measurements safely (no physical barriers to measuring)

This study checks whether a smartwatch can spot an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation soon after on-pump heart surgery. If the smartwatch works well, it could help clinicians find the problem earlier after surgery.
This trial uses a monitoring device to check for a common but often overlooked irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to detect and treat it early to prevent complications like stroke.
This study tests if an Apple Watch can help detect when atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) comes back after heart surgery. You'll wear an Apple Watch and a small skin patch (Zio Patch) to track your heart rhythm.
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 tests whether continuous heart-rhythm monitoring with a smartwatch can better guide treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) while you stay on a blood thinner. The goal is to improve safety and reduce stroke risk by catching AF patterns more closely.
This trial tests whether a smartwatch can detect atrial fibrillation in people who have had major chest surgery (like lung removal) within the last 48 hours. If successful, this could help catch heart rhythm problems early without extra hospital equipment.
