- Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after cardiac surgery and has well-documented short-term negative impacts, but its long-term effects on patient health are less understood.
- A study of over 30,000 patients aged 55-90 who underwent open-heart surgery from 2010 to 2019 found that those with POAF had significantly higher risks of complications like recurrent atrial fibrillation, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and increased mortality rates.
- The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring and managing POAF in postoperative patients, as it relates to poorer long-term health outcomes.
