Heart patch after valve surgery: could it save lives?

NCT ID NCT07521800

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether wearing a portable ECG monitor for 30 days after a heart valve replacement (TAVI) can detect dangerous heart rhythm problems better than the usual 1-2 days of hospital monitoring. 250 patients will be randomly assigned to either the extended monitoring group or standard care. The goal is to see if longer monitoring leads to earlier treatment and fewer complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Remote ECG monitoring device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous home ECG monitoring after TAVI catches dangerous heart rhythm issues earlier than standard hospital checks, leading to faster treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (250 people) and is not testing a new drug or cure. The monitoring may find extra issues that don't actually need treatment, causing unnecessary worry or procedures.
