Newer, faster heart valve surgery may cause hidden rhythm issues
NCT ID NCT03259945
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked back at 198 patients who had a sutureless aortic valve replacement to see how often they developed heart rhythm problems. These newer valves are faster to implant but have a metal frame that might affect the heart's electrical system. The goal was to better understand these risks.
