Heart surgery aftermath: new study seeks to predict and prevent dangerous rhythm problems
NCT ID NCT07625033
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look at data from 918 adults who had planned heart surgery to find out why some develop atrial fibrillation, a common and serious irregular heartbeat. The researchers will also examine whether newer anesthesia methods, like a nerve block, might help protect against this complication. The goal is to better understand risk factors and improve care after heart surgery.
