CABG REVEAL: Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Completed

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

Atrial Fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that can occur after coronary heart bypass graft operations. How often this happens and what other problems occur for a person after these operations needs to be better understood. This study uses a device called the Reveal XT, a small device that records heart rhythms to track a patient's heart rhythms after the bypass surgery. The device is implanted at the time the bypass graft is made. The information that is gathered for this study will help physicians to provide better treatment and follow-up of the patients under their care.
