The atrial conduction properties associated with cardiac disease are speculated as the background of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). We examined the atrial conduction patterns and conduction properties during sinus rhythm (SR) in patients that had undergone cardiac operations and evaluated the incidence of POAF in all patients.
