New Study Finds Wearable ECG Monitor Detects Missed AFib in Cardiac Surgery Patients After Discharge
ECG monitor is supporting research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston aimed at understanding and improving detection of postoperative atrial fibrillation (poAF). Preliminary findings, presented at Euroanaesthesia 2025 in Portugal, show that continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring for up to 14 days after cardiac surgery helped uncover cases of poAF that may have gone undetected during the hospital stay.
