Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether it is possible and acceptable to monitor patients at a distance who experience a condition called atrial fibrillation after their cancer surgery. Some patients have no other clinical reason for staying in the hospital after cancer surgery except in order to control their heart rhythm. Being able to send these patients home earlier and monitor them at a distance from their home can be good for their quick recovery. Studies have shown greater quality of life and patient satisfaction when patients are monitored at a distance for conditions like atrial fibrillation, however cancer patients have not been studied.

post op cancer patients experiencing atrial fibrillation

This small study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptance of remote cardiac monitoring of postoperative cancer patients experiencing atrial fibrillation and will collect continuous data on heart beat over a period of 4-6 weeks upon discharge.

questionnaire about the use of ECG device

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients will be fitted with a continuous ECG monitor and blood pressure device. Data on every heart beat, including episodes of atrial fibrillation, for 4-6 weeks of continuous monitoring will be collected and transmitted wirelessly. Based on this information and blood pressure readings performed by patients in their home setting, clinicians can adjust oral coagulant dosage. Participants will attend 2 follow-up outpatient visits at the MSKCC outpatient cardiology practice upon the cardiologist's recommendation. Upon completion of the study, 4-6 weeks, a questionnaire will be sent via mail, including a pre-paid envelope, to participants to assess feasibility, acceptance, and overall experience with remote cardiac monitoring.

Upon obtaining written informed consent, a technician from Ocean Empire Diagnostic & Monitoring Group will equip the participant with the ECG device and demonstrate the use. This is standard practice at MSKCC for 24 hour holters and we will be using the same company to equip patients with the ECG device. Participants will also be equipped with a blood pressure device for use at home during the 4-6 week period and the RN will demonstrate its use.
