Adherence to guideline recommendations for postoperative atrial fibrillation: a nationwide survey reveals major prevention gaps
This first national survey in China reveals substantial gaps in POAF knowledge and guideline adherence, particularly concerning preventive care. Our findings highlight the global challenge of translating evidence-based POAF recommendations into practice. They emphasize the need for targeted implementation strategies that account for healthcare system constraints in developing economies with large cardiovascular disease burdens.
