Detecting irregular heartbeat after non-heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery (not on your heart) in the past 3 days.
- You stayed in the hospital overnight, or had a major day surgery.
- You are at least 55 years old, or have heart-related risk factors.
- You do not have a history of long-term irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation).
- You are not currently on long-term blood thinners or certain other medications.

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.
This study uses AI-powered heart monitoring to detect a type of irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that may develop after a stroke. Catching this condition early could help prevent future strokes and guide your treatment.
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 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 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 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.
