Long-Term Atrial Fibrillation After Acute Illness Study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is for people who recently had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) for the first time while in the hospital or sick. It uses a small implantable heart monitor to see if the irregular heartbeat comes back over the next few years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a medical need for a small, implantable heart monitor and be getting one as part of your normal care.
- You must be scheduled to receive or have already received a specific type of monitor called Boston Scientific LUX-DX.
- You must have had a first-time diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) during a hospital stay or while being sick within the past month.
- You must have had at least one 12-lead ECG and 24-hour heart monitoring to confirm the diagnosis.
- You must be at least 18 years old and willing to attend follow-up visits for the whole study.
- You cannot have had atrial fibrillation before this episode, and you cannot have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other heart device.

This study tracks patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) over time to better understand the condition and improve care. You may be asked to share health information and attend follow-up visits.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
This trial tests a new system that maps and treats atrial fibrillation using special energy (pulsed field ablation) during a repeat ablation procedure. It also uses a small implanted monitor to track your heart rhythm before and after the procedure, which may help improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether using a remote monitor to check your heart rhythm after a catheter ablation is safe and helps detect irregular heartbeats early. You would use a small device at home to send your heart data to your care team.
This study is for people with atrial fibrillation who are planning to have a catheter ablation procedure. It will look at how well the heart works after the procedure and how to prevent future events.
This study looks at how often atrial fibrillation happens soon after an acute heart attack, and who is most at risk. It may help doctors identify patients who need closer heart-rhythm monitoring after a hospital heart attack.
