Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of cardiac surgery, with an increasing incidence. Post-operative AF results in many complications and increased healthcare resources. Despite substantial interest in the prediction and prevention of post-operative AF, as well as guidelines for the management of this common arrhythmia, there is still some uncertainty about appropriate risk stratification and management. The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of clinical predictive features for the development of AF following cardiac surgery and suitable preventive measures, using both antiarrhythmic and non-antiarrhythmic strategies.
