Grape Powder to Prevent Irregular Heartbeat After Valve Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a grape powder supplement (rich in plant compounds called anthocyanins) can help prevent a common heart rhythm problem (atrial fibrillation) after mitral valve repair surgery. It is for people who are scheduled for this surgery and do not have certain heart or health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 79 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) mitral valve repair surgery, possibly with bypass or tricuspid repair.
- You do not have a history of atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) or a pacemaker.
- You have not had previous heart surgery or an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation.
- You do not have a weak heart pump, enlarged left atrium, severe mitral regurgitation, or active infections/autoimmune diseases.

This trial tests whether a medicine called amiodarone can help prevent an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that sometimes happens after heart surgery. If you are having heart surgery (other than bypass surgery) and have a normal heart rhythm, this study might help you recover with fewer heart rhythm problems.
This trial tests whether giving a medication right after a heart valve replacement can prevent a common type of irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). It compares two medicines to see which is more effective.
This trial studies whether giving a medication (amiodarone) during and after certain heart surgeries can help prevent atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can happen after surgery. It may help by aiming to stop this rhythm problem before it starts.
This trial tests if placing a small amount of amiodarone medicine near the heart during open-chest surgery can help prevent a common irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that often happens after heart surgery.
This study tests if a medication called dexmedetomidine can prevent atrial fibrillation (a common irregular heart rhythm) after mitral valve surgery. If you are having this surgery, this treatment might reduce your risk of developing this complication.
This study tests if removing a small heart structure (the ligament of Marshall) during minimally invasive bypass surgery can help prevent a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation after surgery. If you're having this type of bypass and haven't had irregular heartbeats before, you may be able to join.
