Core Tip	Post-transplant atrial fibrillation and other atrial tachyarrhythmias are not a uniform postoperative complication. Rather, they form a time-dependent and organ-dependent syndrome with distinct mechanisms and clinical implications across solid-organ transplantation. Thoracic transplantation carries the greatest arrhythmic burden, whereas abdominal transplantation shows a lower incidence but important prognostic consequences. Early atrial fibrillation is usually trigger-mediated, while later atrial arrhythmias often reflect fixed structural substrates, graft-related pathology, or progressive remodeling. Effective management requires a transplant-specific approach that integrates timing, graft status, organ function, drug interactions, thromboembolic risk, bleeding risk, and the growing role of mechanism-guided catheter ablation.
