Key result
Early postoperative arrhythmias are common after congenital heart surgery, with tachyarrhythmia occurring in 8.1% and atrioventricular block in 4.5% of pediatric patients.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate early postoperative arrhythmias, potential risk factors, and management strategies in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery.

Supports heightened arrhythmia surveillance in younger, complex congenital cases; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Cohort (n=670)
Early postoperative arrhythmias, particularly junctional ectopic tachycardia, are common in children after congenital heart surgery and are associated with younger age, longer operations, and higher complexity scores.
Erkut Öztürk (2021) conducted a cohort in Congenital heart defects (n=670). Cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects was evaluated on Early postoperative arrhythmias. Early postoperative arrhythmias are common after congenital heart surgery, with tachyarrhythmia occurring in 8.1% and atrioventricular block in 4.5% of pediatric patients.
