Electrocardiography is Useful to Predict Postoperative Ventricular Arrhythmia in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Preoperative detection of high-/low-risk postoperative ventricular arrhythmia (POVA) patients using a noninvasive method is an important issue in the clinical setting. This study mainly aimed to determine the usefulness of several preoperative electrocardiographic (ECG) markers in the risk assessment of POVA with cardiac surgery. Method: We enrolled 1024 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and a total of 823 patients were included in the study. Logistic regression analysis determined preoperative ECG markers. A new risk predicting model were developed to predict occurrence of POVA, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to validate this model. Results: Of these, 337 patients experienced POVA, and 485 patients did not exp
