Summary

This is a multicentre prospective cohort study where patients will receive up to 14 days of continuous ECG monitoring by wearing a portable monitoring device, starting within 72 hours after noncardiac surgery.

Detailed description

POAF commonly occurs after noncardiac surgery and is associated with adverse long-term outcomes. Despite this, patients with POAF are routinely being missed during clinical practice. Continuous ECG monitoring has the potential to enhance POAF detection and improve clinical care in affected patients. Based on this background, the DETECT-POAF study will determine the incidence of clinically important POAF in those receiving up to 14 days of continuous ECG monitoring within 35 days after noncardiac surgery.
