NCT ID NCT07467941

First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study will check if the amount of deep belly fat (visceral fat) measured before heart bypass surgery is linked to a higher chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after the operation. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure belly fat in 300 adults scheduled for elective bypass surgery. The goal is to better understand risk factors, not to test a new treatment.
