Heart monitor vest after first bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable heart monitor vest (WCD) for people who have had their first coronary bypass surgery and have a weakened heart pump (ejection fraction below 35%). The vest watches for dangerous heart rhythms and can shock the heart back to normal if needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first bypass surgery within the last 10 days.
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is less than 35% after surgery.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have any other heart surgery (like valve repair) along with the bypass.
- You do not have a pacemaker that uses only one wire (unipolar) or any skin problems that would keep the vest from sticking properly.

This study tests a new wearable ultrasound device that can monitor the heart continuously in the ICU. It may help doctors spot heart problems earlier after surgery, which could improve recovery.
This study looks at how well a wearable heart monitor and special software can check the health of your whole heart and assess your risk of future heart problems. It may help doctors create more personalized care plans.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function without needing an invasive catheter. It aims to see if the device works as well as the standard right heart catheterization procedure.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitor during your hospital stay helps doctors catch problems earlier than standard care alone. If you are in the hospital for heart or blood vessel issues, this device could help your care team keep a closer eye on you.
This study tests whether a wearable ECG monitor (a small device that records your heart's electrical signals) can help doctors diagnose reduced blood flow to the heart muscle in people who might have coronary artery disease. If you join, you will wear the monitor during a routine heart test to see if it can detect problems as well as standard methods.
This study uses a wearable patch to monitor heart-related signs in people with heart conditions. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress, which could help improve future care.
