Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Individuals who previously enrolled in the pCAD-POAF trial and completed the initial study are eligible for the follow-up.

Probably not a fit

Patients who did not participate in the original pCAD-POAF trial or who are not available for long-term follow-up may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This is an observational, non-interventional follow-up of participants from the pCAD-POAF trial. Researchers will track outcomes for three years after surgery, including a composite of death, stroke, embolism, heart attack, unplanned rehospitalization, or post-discharge atrial fibrillation. Secondary outcomes include individual components, arrhythmias, heart rhythm and rate measures, quality of life, and Holter-derived data. At the 3-year visit, participants will undergo tests such as labs, ECG, and echocardiography, with optional CT angiography and continuous arrhythmia monitoring. No further treatments will be administered as part of this follow-up.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Participants may gain a better understanding of long-term risks and health trajectories after pCAD-POAF, which could inform future care.

How similar studies have gone: Other post-trial observational follow-ups have shown value in understanding long-term outcomes after cardiovascular procedures, though this exact design is specific to the pCAD-POAF cohort.
