Pre‐Operative Reduced Atrial Compliance Is Predictive of Post‐Operative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Esophagectomy
Reduced bi-atrial compliance evidenced by standard echocardiographic strain analysis predicts POAF in patients undergoing esophagectomy. Comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation should be considered in surgical candidates before esophageal surgery, given the detected subclinical global myocardial dysfunction.
