Quality of life after heart surgery with irregular heartbeat
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 99 years old
- You are scheduled to have heart surgery (not an emergency)
- You can answer questions in a survey
- You do not already have persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat)

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 tests whether using radiofrequency energy to isolate a small area in the heart's left upper chamber can prevent a common irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery.
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 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 study looks at why some people develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery. By studying patients who had surgery, researchers hope to identify warning signs and risk factors that could help prevent this complication.
This study looks at whether people who have heart surgery (bypass or valve replacement) develop a fast, irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation after the operation. It may help doctors find ways to prevent or treat this condition.
