Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Postoperative AF has been increasingly identified in non-cardiac surgical patients. Liver transplantation (LT) outcomes have improved in the last two decades, but cardiovascular complications remain the leading cause of death. This is primarily due to the complexity of operations and haemodynamic shifts, which occur intraoperatively. Therefore, LT candidates undergo extensive transplant cardiac workup. The impact of postoperative AF in LT patients is largely unknown.
