Abstract
Perioperative disorders of heart rate and rhythm are common and can contribute to patient morbidity and mortality. Management of perioperative arrhythmias is facilitated by understanding the basic mechanisms of arrhythmia formation and the role of transient imbalances. The decisions of when and how to treat perioperative arrhythmias are based on whether or not hemodynamic signs are present and the assumed risk of sudden arrhythmic death. Perioperative arrhythmias warrant careful monitoring and consideration of potential complications associated with antiarrhythmic therapy.
