Why the study?
What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for new onset supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty?
What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for new onset supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty?
Perioperative AF/SVT occurs in approximately 3.1% of patients undergoing major joint arthroplasty, with higher rates in older patients with specific ECG abnormalities.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May guide preoperative ECG review in older arthroplasty patients; leaves open whether risk stratification improves outcomes.
Kahn et al. (1993) studied this question.
