Inflammation and heart rhythm after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at inflammation and how it relates to a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation after heart surgery. It may help understand why some people develop this condition and how to better prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be able to understand the study and give your own permission (informed consent).
- This must be your first heart surgery (not a redo or repeat operation).
- Your general health should be good enough to participate at the time of the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies whether measuring how the upper chambers of the heart work together can help predict dangerous heart rhythms after heart surgery. If you are in normal heart rhythm and not having mitral valve surgery, this study may help doctors better prevent complications.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having 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 measures changes in inflammation in people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are getting a catheter ablation procedure. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the body during the procedure and why some patients do better than others.
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.
