Abstract

Palliative or corrective heart surgery is currently available for most forms of congenital heart defects. Postoperatively, various electrocardiographic patterns are present. There is a significant incidence of postoperative arrhythmias, many of which are sudden, unexpected, and life-threatening. Improved operative survival, as well as an increased awareness of postoperative arrhythmias, has led to an apparent increase in these arrhythmias. New monitoring techniques and electrophysiologic studies have helped to identify the extent of significant postoperative arrhythmias in patients with congenital heart defects.
