Heart ultrasound may predict Post-Surgery AFib risk
NCT ID NCT06054360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring the function of the right upper heart chamber using ultrasound can help predict a common irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that often occurs after heart surgery. About 334 adults scheduled for bypass surgery will have their heart function measured before and after the operation. The goal is to see if changes in the right chamber's strain are linked to who develops the irregular heartbeat.

Who is studied
This prospective, single-center study was conducted at the Amiens University Hospital. As an additional procedure to the patient's management, it includes the systematic performance of a TTE the day before the surgery, with the acquisition of specific views to measure RAS. After enrollment, the principal investigator will perform a TTE to measure RASr on particular views. TTE will be performed in a supine position at the patient's bedside by a trained medical operator, following a standardized protocol. After surgery, the patient will be monitored by a 5-lead ECG to diagnose POAF. The maximum duration of POAF monitoring will be seven days in the intensive care unit.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient (\>18 years old) * The patient was hospitalized at the Amiens University Hospital for scheduled aortocoronary bypass grafting under cardiopulmonary bypass. * Echocardiographic image quality enabling the measurement of RAS parameters * Patient affiliation to a social security scheme * Patient/proxy information and collection of their non-opposition. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients participating in an interventional study may modify the incidence of POAF. * History of atrial fibrillation or flutter. * Valvular and ascending aorta cardiac surgery * Urgent cardiac surgery. * Presence of tricuspid insufficiency greater than grade 2. * Left ventricular ejection fraction lower than 50%. * Patient receiving circulatory mechanical assistance before surgery. * Dependency on ventricular and atrial pacing by an internal or external cardiac pacemaker during the echocardiographic examination.
