Can a wearable monitor prevent heart emergencies after valve replacement?

NCT ID NCT07739316

First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether wearing a portable heart monitor for two weeks after a TAVI procedure can reduce the risk of sudden death, dangerous heart rhythms, or stroke within the following year. People who have had a successful TAVI and show certain electrical abnormalities on their ECG at discharge may participate. Half will receive the monitor, while the other half will receive standard care, and outcomes will be compared.
