Brief summary

This study aims to assess the percent and risk factors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Assiut university heart hospital

Detailed description

Arrhythmias are common complications after cardiac surgery, with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) being the most frequently observed arrhythmia. The incidence rate of POAF ranges from 20% to 50%, depending on factors such as the type of surgery, patient population, and criteria used for diagnosis. Notably, POAF has been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Patients who develop POAF are at a higher risk of experiencing complications such as stroke, heart failure (HF), and prolonged hospital stays. Moreover, POAF has been linked to long-term adverse outcomes, including a greater risk of recurrence of AF/atrial flutter and increased mortality. The accurate prediction of POAF can help guide therapy and facilitate targeted interventions to prevent its occurrence. Early identification of patients at risk for POAF allows for the timely initiation of prophylactic measures, such as the use of β-blockers, amiodarone, or other antiarrhythmic drugs, which have been shown to reduce the incidence of POAF. In this study we are searching for the percent and risk factors of POAF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Assiut university hospital.
