Hidden heart rhythms: new study monitors patients before valve surgery
NCT ID NCT03561805
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a portable heart monitor for up to three months before a TAVI procedure can detect silent arrhythmias in people with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if catching these hidden rhythm issues early can lead to treatments that improve outcomes and shorten hospital stays. About 106 participants will wear the CardioSTAT® device, and researchers will track any arrhythmias found and resulting changes in care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CardioSTAT® continuous ECG monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that extended monitoring before TAVI helps doctors find and treat hidden heart rhythm problems, possibly leading to better outcomes and shorter hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study (106 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The monitoring device may also miss some arrhythmias or cause false alarms.
