Why the study?
Post-operative arrhythmias are common after cardiac surgery and can lead to adverse outcomes, but their incidence and patient demographic characteristics needed evaluation in this setting.
Premature ventricular contractions and atrial fibrillation are the most frequent arrhythmias following cardiac surgery, affecting nearly a third of patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Substantial post-op arrhythmia rates support enhanced monitoring; leaves open optimal prevention strategies in cardiac surgery.
