About 30% of people develop an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation after heart surgery. This trial is investigating whether a special ultrasound test that measures how well the right side of your heart is working before surgery can predict who will develop this problem. Researchers believe this measurement might help identify patients at higher risk so they can be monitored more closely.
An irregular heartbeat after surgery can lead to serious complications including stroke, heart attack, and permanent heart rhythm problems. While doctors understand a lot about how the left side of the heart contributes to this problem, they know much less about the right side. This study aims to fill that gap by testing whether measuring right heart function before surgery could help predict and prevent these complications.

You will have a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) performed before your scheduled bypass surgery. This is a non-invasive test where a technician moves a probe across your chest to take pictures of your heart. The study team will measure specific function of your right heart chamber using specialized computer software, then follow your hospital course after surgery to see whether you develop an irregular heartbeat.
