Universal early arrhythmias warrant heightened vigilance; case report leaves open causal factors and interventions for confirmation in controlled trials.
Observational (n=50)
Arrhythmias are universally observed in the first 3 days following open heart surgery, predominantly presenting as ventricular premature beats.
Gürsel et al. (1976) conducted an observational in Postoperative arrhythmias (n=50). Open-heart surgery was evaluated on Postoperative arrhythmias. Postoperative arrhythmias occurred in 100% of patients during the first 3 days after open-heart surgery, with ventricular premature beats being the most frequent (80%).
