Assessing right atrial strain to predict postoperative atrial fibrillation after heart surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the predictive value of right atrial strain (RAS) in patients undergoing scheduled aortocoronary bypass grafting. By utilizing transthoracic echocardiography, the study will measure RAS parameters to determine their association with the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Given that POAF can lead to serious complications, understanding the role of right atrial function may provide insights into patient outcomes following cardiac surgery. The study will include adult patients hospitalized at the Amiens University Hospital for this specific surgical procedure.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

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:

* 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.
* Left ventricular ejection fraction 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.
