AB  - Postoperative  atrial  fibrillation  (POAF)  is  the  most  common  sustained  arrhythmia  after  cardiac  surgeries  (valve  surgeries  more  commonly  than  coronary  artery  bypass  grafts),  thoracic  surgeries  (most  commonly  pulmonary  and  esophageal  surgery),  and  non  cardiothoracic  surgeries.  POAF  is  a  supraventricular  tachyarrhythmia  leading  to  ineffective  atrial  contractility  that  is  newly  diagnosed  in  the  postoperative  setting.  Most  of  the  literature  on  POAF  pertains  to  cardiothoracic  surgeries.  Atrial  fibrillation  (AF)  has  conventionally  been  described  using  the  duration  of  the  episode,  symptoms,  or  presence  of  valvular  disease  (Table  37-1).1,2
