RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
Post Intensive Care Unit Atrial Fibrillation
About This Trial
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder in the intensive care unit (ICU). It can be precipitated by multiple factors but it is unclear whether AF persists after discharge from the ICU, and long term. This study will investigate whether AF recurs up to one year after ICU discharge.
