Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative atrial fibrillation(POAF)is a common complication after cardiac surgery.POAF would increase risks of stroke and death,and the underlying pathogenesis of POAF is not fully understood.Many researchers believe that various triggering factors on the basis of the arrhythmogenic substrates stimulate the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.Recent research has focused on the role of pericarditis,while previous studies have focused on identifying risk factors.In addition,utilizing various methods for early prediction for POAF is also of great clinical significance.This article provides a review on the mechanisms,risk factors,predictive methods,prevention and treatment measures of POAF after cardiac surgery in recent years,in order to guide clinical practice.
