Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation in Postoperative Thoracic Surgery Using a Smartwatch

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jun 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in approximately 20% of patients following thoracic surgery. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications such as heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction, and increased mortality. Smartwatches equipped with single-lead ECG capabilities and algorithms to detect asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) offer a potential solution. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of smartwatches in detecting POAF compared to standard care.
