Study summary

The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery is around 30%. POAF increases the risk of developing permanent atrial fibrillation and raises the risk of cardiac decompensation, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and death. While the role of the left atrium (LAF) in the pathophysiology of POAF is now well-established, the part of the right atrium (RA) remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest a correlation between RA function and POAF.

RA function can be assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with dedicated software for measuring the RA strain (RAS). RA function is thus divided into three phases: reservoir (RASr), conduit, and contraction. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a significant alteration in RAS predicts POAF in various clinical contexts. Therefore, it is essential to investigate whether alterations in RA function assessed by 2D-STE (RAS) are associated with an increased occurrence of FAPO after cardiac surgery.

Study population

This prospective, single-center study was conducted at the Amiens University Hospital. As an additional procedure to the patient's management, it includes the systematic performance of a TTE the day before the surgery, with the acquisition of specific views to measure RAS. After enrollment, the principal investigator will perform a TTE to measure RASr on particular views. TTE will be performed in a supine position at the patient's bedside by a trained medical operator, following a standardized protocol. After surgery, the patient will be monitored by a 5-lead ECG to diagnose POAF. The maximum duration of POAF monitoring will be seven days in the intensive care unit.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patient (>18 years old)
  • The patient was hospitalized at the Amiens University Hospital for scheduled aortocoronary bypass grafting under cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Echocardiographic image quality enabling the measurement of RAS parameters
  • Patient affiliation to a social security scheme
  • Patient/proxy information and collection of their non-opposition.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients participating in an interventional study may modify the incidence of POAF.
  • History of atrial fibrillation or flutter.
  • Valvular and ascending aorta cardiac surgery
  • Urgent cardiac surgery.
  • Presence of tricuspid insufficiency greater than grade 2.
  • lower than 50%.
  • Patient receiving circulatory mechanical assistance before surgery.
  • Dependency on ventricular and atrial pacing by an internal or external cardiac pacemaker during the echocardiographic examination.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 36 months after the start.

Of 36 observational studies under Sprains and Strains, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 36 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 28, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
