Study Summary

The study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence of atrial arrhythmias (including Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF), atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia) stratified by baseline Utah fibrosis stages and overall fibrosis (%) of the left atrial wall area. The investigators hypothesize that patients with a higher baseline Utah fibrosis staging will experience a higher incidence of POAF. The study also aims to evaluate and compare the in-hospital mortality, length-of-stay (LOS), complication rates (strokes, pneumonia, respiratory failure etc.) of the different Utah fibrosis stage cohorts. Perform cost analysis and compare between patients with POAF and patients without POAF. The investigators hypothesize that patients experiencing POAF will have a higher mortality rate, longer LOS, greater complications, and therefore, additional hospital costs.

Primary Outcome

The incidence of any atrial arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia etc.) from after their surgical procedure to their discharge from the hospital. Atrial arrhythmia is defined as any abnormal atrial rhythm episode continuing for more than 30 seconds, starting immediately after the patient arrives at the post-operation ICU. All atrial arrhythmia starting after the operation will be monitored and recorded. This will be measured using continuous telemetry and/or serial
