Recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: long-term evidence from cardiac devices
Postoperative is associated with a threefold greater odds of developing recurrent device-detected AF: it is not a simple transient phenomenon. Larger prospective studies are required to identify which patients would benefit from heart rhythm surveillance and whether OAC is an effective treatment in this patient group.
