Can a wearable monitor prevent heart emergencies after valve replacement?
NCT ID NCT07739316
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether wearing a portable heart monitor for two weeks after a TAVI procedure can reduce the risk of sudden death, dangerous heart rhythms, or stroke within the following year. People who have had a successful TAVI and show certain electrical abnormalities on their ECG at discharge may participate. Half will receive the monitor, while the other half will receive standard care, and outcomes will be compared.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ambulatory ECG monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could become standard care after TAVI, potentially reducing life-threatening heart rhythm complications.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is early and may not show a clear benefit. Extra monitoring could lead to unnecessary procedures or anxiety.
