Tracking irregular heartbeat after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study watches for an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation that can happen after heart surgery. The aim is to understand and manage this condition better to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having your first planned heart surgery, either bypass surgery (CABG) or valve replacement.
- Your heart rhythm is normal (sinus rhythm) before surgery.
- You are not taking medicines to control heart rhythm, except beta-blockers.
- You do not have a history of previous heart surgery.
- You do not have hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or electrolyte imbalances.
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how often a fast, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) happens after heart valve or bypass surgery. Knowing this could help doctors take better care of patients after these procedures.
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.
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 study looks at quality of life in people who develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after heart surgery. Researchers will ask you to fill out surveys to understand how this condition affects your daily life.
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 an ultrasound test of the heart's right atrium to see if it can predict who will develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after planned coronary bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery and have no history of atrial fibrillation, you may be able to join.
