What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for ventricular tachyarrhythmia after coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias occur in over a quarter of patients post-CABG, particularly in those with low ejection fraction and ischemic heart disease, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring in the first 48 hours.
Sadr‐Ameli et al. (2013) studied this question.
