Literature suggests 25-50% of patients develop arrhythmia following cardiac surgery. Within a regional cardiothoracic centre in Scotland, guidelines exist on initial management of post-operative atrial arrhythmia. However, in practice various approaches are used. Arrhythmias contribute to prolonged hospital stay and high dependency readmission.
