Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who recently had major thoracic surgery. Participants will use a smartwatch to help detect a heart condition called postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am over 18 years old.
- I had major thoracic surgery within the last 48 hours.
- I am scheduled for a pneumonectomy or lobectomy.
- I am staying in a standard surgical unit after my surgery.
- I can use a smartwatch to take a heart reading.
- I have social security coverage.
- I provide signed consent to participate.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a history of atrial fibrillation.
- I need constant monitoring for heart issues.
- I depend on a pacemaker.
- I am taking part in another study affecting atrial fibrillation.
- I had other chest surgeries.
- I had surgery more than 48 hours ago.
- I am pregnant.
- I am under legal guardianship.

About This Trial
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 …
