Interatrial block is an independent risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery
Perioperative electrocardiogram-derived parameters, especially interatrial block, are associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation. Further research is needed to clarify the link between conduction abnormalities and postoperative atrial fibrillation, enabling targeted prophylactic therapies for high-risk patients.
