Abstract

Introduction; Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia seen after cardiac surgery particularly coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It has significant implications on patient morbidity and mortality. Left atrial contractile dysfunction was one of the major inciting factors in the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Two-dimensional speckle track echocardiography (2-D STE) emerges as a Nobel tool to assess the LA function.
