Bradyarrhythmia development and permanent pacemaker implantation after cardiac surgery.

Objective: Bradyarrhythmia is one of the complications that may develop after cardiac surgery. Only a few studies have previously dealt with this concern, and in our study, we investigated the factors affecting the development of atrioventricular block or sinus node dysfunction and the requirement of permanent pacemaker following cardiac surgery.

Methods: A total of 62 patients who developed the atrioventricular (AV) block or sinus node dysfunction and required a permanent pacemaker following cardiac surgery were included in the study.
