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)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 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 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.
