New ECG tech aims to predict Post-Surgery heart rhythm problems
NCT ID NCT03962166
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a special type of ECG (called wavECG) can predict atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat after open-heart surgery. Researchers will follow 100 patients having their first heart surgery, using wavECG and echocardiograms to see who develops atrial fibrillation. The goal is to improve prediction so doctors can better manage risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better prediction tools for atrial fibrillation after heart surgery, helping doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with only 100 participants. The new ECG technology may not prove accurate enough for clinical use, and results may not apply to all heart surgery patients.
