Official title
Single-center Pilot Study to Evaluate the Interest of a Hybrid Connected Watch for Heart Rate Monitoring in Postoperative Cardiac Surgery
Overview
The objective of this single-center pilot study is, with the help of a connected watch, to show the absence of recurrence or maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with a Post Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) and to help treating cardiologists in the care of these patients.
Interventions
- Other Clinical follow-up (ECG)
Clinical follow-up with a consultation at the University Hospital at 3, 6, and 12 months, with an ECG at each visit. - Other Ongoing monitoring
Once operated, patients will be monitored remotely via a computerized data transfer routine anonymized by the WITHINGS software, based on the data from the watch. It's contractually agreed with WITHINGS that the transmissions will be scheduled and transmitted weekly to the center.
Primary outcome measures
- To compare the rate of recurrence of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation with continuous 12-month postoperative cardiac surgery monitoring in patients with POAF versus traditional follow-up with ECG recording at 3, 6 and 12 months [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Assessment of the rate of patients on anticoagulant therapy by follow-up modality [Time frame: 12 months]
- Evaluation of complication rates related to the different treatments according to the follow-up modality [Time frame: 12 months]
- Assessment of the number of patients in AF [Time frame: 12 months]
- Assessment of the duration of AF transitions [Time frame: 12 months]
- Assessment of quality of life and satisfaction with use by follow-up modality [Time frame: 12 months]
- Assessment of quality of life and satisfaction with use by follow-up modality [Time frame: 12 months]
- Evaluate the appropriateness of each of the two modalities with treating cardiologists [Time frame: 12 months]
Eligibility criteria
