Using a smartwatch to detect atrial fibrillation after chest surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing 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 tests whether a wearable device (a smartwatch-like device) worn after lung or chest surgery can help doctors catch complications early by monitoring your heart rate, activity, and other vital signs. The goal is to catch problems sooner so you can get help faster.
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 trial tests if a smartwatch can accurately measure atrial fibrillation after a common heart procedure called catheter ablation. If you've had this procedure, you might be able to join and help researchers see if the smartwatch works as well as standard monitors.
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 trial tests if a smartwatch can accurately measure how often atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) occurs. If you have AFib and can wear a watch, you may help doctors find a simpler way to track your condition.
This study is testing how well a special smartwatch called Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 can detect irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) compared to standard heart monitoring. If you have symptoms of an irregular heartbeat or have been diagnosed with one before, this watch could help identify it more easily from home.
