Abstract Objective: The primary aim of our work is to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery in adults with congenital heart disease. Secondary
aims include identifying risk factors predictive of developing early postoperative
atrial fibrillation and morbidities associated with early postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Single center, quaternary care children’s hospital.
Patients: This review included patients at least 18 years of age with known congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery requiring a median sternotomy at
our congenital heart center from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016.
Interventions: None.
Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was early… More >
