Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation - Pathophysiology, Treatment and Prevention.
Atrial fibrillation occurring after cardiac surgery has been the subject of intensive research over the past decades. However, the incidence remains high, despite numerous preventive and treatment strategies. In addition, several reports show that the impact of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is high. It is an independent risk factor for mortality after several years. These findings m...

متن کاملPost-operative atrial fibrillation: a maze of mechanisms
Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most frequent complications of cardiac surgery and an important predictor of patient morbidity as well as of prolonged hospitalization. It significantly increases costs for hospitalization.

متن کاملProphylactic Amiodarone effectively prevents post-operative atrial fibrillation.
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether prophylactic Amiodarone can safely reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) post-cardiac surgery. Altogether 90 papers were found using the reported search, of which 12 presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, journal, date and count...
