Predicting heart rhythm problems after robotic esophagus surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a calcium scan of the heart before robotic surgery to remove the esophagus can help predict if a patient will develop an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after surgery. This could help doctors identify patients who need closer monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for robotic surgery to remove the esophagus.
- You have had a CT scan of your heart to check your coronary calcium score before surgery.
- You do not need emergency surgery.
- You can read and understand the consent form (e.g., you are not illiterate or a foreigner).
- You do not have cognitive problems, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no history of atrial fibrillation.

This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool on a standard heart test (electrocardiogram, or ECG) before your surgery to help predict your risk of heart problems. The goal is to make surgery safer by better preparing for any heart risks you might have.
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.
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.
This trial studies whether measuring how the upper chambers of the heart work together can help predict dangerous heart rhythms after heart surgery. If you are in normal heart rhythm and not having mitral valve surgery, this study may help doctors better prevent complications.
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) system to analyze your heart's electrical activity (ECG) before surgery to predict if you might have a serious heart rhythm problem during or after the operation. The goal is to help doctors better prepare and protect patients with high cardiac risk.
This study uses an MRI scan before heart surgery to look for heart scarring that may predict who will develop atrial fibrillation afterward. Knowing the risk ahead of time could help doctors monitor you more closely and plan prevention.
