Understanding heart rhythm problems after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a planned heart surgery at the study hospital
- You agree to let researchers use your hospital medical records
- You did not have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) when you were admitted to the hospital

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial looks at heart rhythm issues (especially atrial fibrillation) that can happen after certain heart procedures. It may help doctors better predict, prevent, or manage these rhythm problems after surgery.
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.
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 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.
