Lipoprotein(a) and Irregular Heartbeat After Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a substance in your blood (lipoprotein(a)) and how it relates to a common irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation that can happen after heart surgery. Participants will wear a simple chest band and use their smartphone to help track heart activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a bypass (CABG), valve replacement, or both
- You are willing to wear a special chest band called Skiin for the study
- You have a smartphone that works with the Skiin app (Android 9+ or iOS 13+)
- You have not had heart surgery before
- You do not have a history of ongoing atrial fibrillation before your surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether the amount of fat around your belly (visceral adiposity) increases the chance of developing an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) after planned coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and prevent this complication.
This study tests whether using a smart watch to track your heart rhythm and guide treatment decisions can help manage paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). Researchers will monitor your heart activity continuously through wearable devices to see if this approach improves outcomes.
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.
This trial tests a wearable heart monitor (Skiin garment) to catch any return of atrial fibrillation after you've had a procedure (catheter ablation). If you're scheduled for this procedure and can wear the monitor for about 7 months, you may help improve detection of irregular heartbeats.
This study tests if an Apple Watch can help detect when atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) comes back after heart surgery. You'll wear an Apple Watch and a small skin patch (Zio Patch) to track your heart rhythm.
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.
