Rhythm outcomes after aortic valve surgery: Treatment and evolution of new‐onset atrial fibrillation

Background The impact of new‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after aortic valve (AV) surgery on mid‐ and long‐term outcomes is under debate. Here, we sought to follow up heart rhythms after AV surgery, and to evaluate the mid‐term prognosis and effectiveness of treatment for patients with new‐onset AF. Methods This single‐center cohort study included 978 consecutive patients (median age, 59 years; male, 68.5%) who underwent surgical AV procedures...
