Atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: incidence, underlying factors, and predictors.

Cardiac complications are the second most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients subjected to thoracic surgery after respiratory complications. Postoperative arrhythmia is one of the most common cardiac complications in these patients. It leads to morbidity, increased hospitalization, and high costs for patients.

To determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after lung resection and determine the underlying factors and predictors of this problem.
