Read our Atrial Fibrillation research guide →After major surgery (that isn't heart surgery), some patients develop an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, which can have serious long-term effects but is often missed. This study uses continuous electrocardiographic monitoring — a wearable device that tracks your heart rhythm 24/7 — to catch these irregular rhythms early so doctors can treat them and prevent complications.
Many patients develop dangerous heart rhythm problems after surgery without knowing it, because standard hospital monitoring only captures a few minutes or hours of heart activity. This research aims to see if wearing a continuous heart monitor for up to two weeks can find these missed cases and improve patient outcomes.

You will wear a small continuous electrocardiographic monitoring device for up to 14 days after your surgery. The device records your heart rhythm continuously, allowing doctors to detect any irregular heartbeats that occur. You'll be asked to keep the monitor on during this time and return for follow-up visits as scheduled so the research team can review your heart rhythm data and assess your recovery.
