Quality of Life After Cardiac Surgery with Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation
This study is looking at the quality of life for patients who develop an irregular heartbeat called postoperative atrial fibrillation (AFib) after heart surgery. Researchers will use surveys like the SF-36 and TSQM-9 to understand how AFib affects patients. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 99 years old, scheduled for heart surgery, and can answer survey questions. However, you cannot join if you already have persistent AFib or AFib before surgery. The main goal is to see how your SF-36 scores change before surgery, and then one and three months after your operation. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information without giving any specific treatment. It plans to include 260 participants.
- What's involved
- You would complete surveys before your heart surgery, and then again one and three months after your operation.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for three months after their surgery.
