Incidence of New Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiovascular Surgery in Vietnam: Results From A Novel Screening Strategy.

Objective: To examine the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) newly developed after cardiovascular surgery in Vietnam, its associated risk factors, and postoperative complications. We also sought to evaluate the feasibility of a novel screening strategy for post-operative AF (POAF) using the combination of two portable devices.

Methods: Single-centre, prospective cohort study at the Cardiovascular Centre, E Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam.
