Temporary atrial epicardial pacing as prophylaxis against atrial fibrillation after heart surgery: a meta-analysis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Following conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), QT interval transiently and variably prolongs and can trigger torsades de pointes (TdP). However, quantitative analysis of risk in this setting is difficult because cycle length variability during AF makes rate-corrected QT impossible to calculate. In this ...
