| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of surgical cardiac denervation in preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. While denervation did not significantly lower the overall incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, it was strongly associated with a marked reduction in persistent atrial fibrillation. These findings highlight the potential role of autonomic modulation in targeting sustained arrhythmias, even though its impact on other clinical outcomes such as stroke, mortality, and hospital stay was minimal. |
