Using a smartwatch to detect atrial fibrillation after chest surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a smartwatch can detect atrial fibrillation in people who have had major chest surgery (like lung removal) within the last 48 hours. If successful, this could help catch heart rhythm problems early without extra hospital equipment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had major chest surgery (pneumonectomy or lobectomy) within the past 48 hours and used one-lung ventilation during surgery
- You are currently in a regular hospital unit (not intensive care)
- You can wear and operate a smartwatch to record a single-lead ECG
- You do not have a history of atrial fibrillation or a permanent pacemaker

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 uses a smartwatch to track your heart and look for changes in your atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) over time. It aims to learn more about how the condition progresses and the risk of stroke or blood clots, which may help improve future care.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately track atrial fibrillation episodes after a catheter ablation procedure. It aims to provide a convenient way to monitor your heart rhythm without frequent clinic visits.
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 tests a special watch (the Corsano CardioWatch) that can detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you're already getting heart monitoring or have symptoms, this watch might be an easier way to track your heart rhythm over a few days.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how much time you spend in atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). By wearing a smartwatch, you may help find an easier way to track your condition without frequent clinic visits.
