Implication

Postoperative SVT may precede cerebral dysfunction after open-heart surgery; this Level 3 cohort study leaves open whether arrhythmia prevention reduces risk.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1400 consecutive patients who had undergone open-heart surgery
I
Intervention
Open-heart surgery
O
Outcome
Postoperative cerebral dysfunctionsafety

Cerebral complications after open-heart surgery occurred in 2.9% of patients, with a significant proportion developing postoperatively following supraventricular tachycardia, highlighting the need for aggressive arrhythmia management.
