Supports close postoperative monitoring for arrhythmias after pediatric congenital heart surgery; leaves open repair-specific risks in larger prospective studies.
Observational (n=239)
Postoperative arrhythmias are a frequent (43.5%) and transient phenomenon after congenital cardiac surgery in children, with specific types of repair predicting the type of arrhythmia.
Alp et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=239). Congenital cardiac surgery was evaluated on Postoperative arrhythmias. Congenital cardiac surgery was associated with early postoperative arrhythmias in 43.5% of pediatric patients, most commonly supraventricular extra-systoles.
