title: [Why there is atrial fibrillation after cardiac operations?].
abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmias after cardiac operations. Its incidence ranges from 10-65%. Often there is a patient discomfort, prolongs hospitalization, increases costs of operation and may be permanent or recurrent course. The cause of postoperative AF is multifactorial. The prevention of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. The conventional treatment strategies include monitoring ventricular rate, restoration of sinus rhythm and prevention of thromboembolic events. The development of effective therapies designed to decrease the high incidence of postoperative AF may be important in the future.
