Twenty-four hour long-term electrocardiographic recordings were used to supplement routine perioperative monitoring to determine the frequency and significance of arrhythmias occurring after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and cardiac valve replacement. Patients underwent “ambulatory” electrocardiographic monitoring for 24 hours before surgery and on the first and fifth days after discharge from intensive care.New arrhythmias occurred in 26 of 50 patients (52 per cent) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and in six of 15 patients (40 per cent) after valve replacement. This high frequency of arrhythmia detection was directly attributable to the use of long-term electrocardiography. New atrial arrhythmias were common after both valvular and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (44 per cent and 38 per cent of patients, respectively). Ventricular arrhythmias were uncommon preoperatively in both groups but occurred frequently after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (36 per cent). Arrhythmias contributed to morbidity but not to mortality in this series.These results suggest that new atrial arrhythmias occurring after coronary artery bypass graft or valvular surgery may be related more to the immediate intrathoracic sequelae of surgery than to a specific underlying cardiac lesion, in contrast to ventricular arrhythmias which may be more specific for patients with ischemia. Long-term electrocardiographic recording is a useful technique to supplement routine methods of perioperative electrocardiographic monitoring.
