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 whether wearing a small monitoring device during your hospital stay for heart problems helps doctors catch problems faster and keep you safer. The device tracks your heart rhythm and other vital signs continuously.
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 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.
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function closely after heart surgery. It may help doctors give better care if you are in the heart intensive care unit after your operation.
