Remote Monitoring After Cardiac Surgery Reveals Undetected AFib Events, Study Finds
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is one of the most common complications following cardiac surgery. It affects up to 40% of patients, depending on the procedure. During the early recovery period, patients are continuously monitored in the ICU using telemetry and intermittent ECGs to detect irregular heart rhythms. But once patients are discharged, that monitoring stops, and clinicians have little visibility into patients’ recovery.
That gap can carry clinical consequences. AFib increases
