Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication after thoracic surgery. The objective of the study was to prospectively evaluate the postoperative outcome of patients undergoing lung resection and presenting with new onset of AF. The postoperative course of AF was also evaluated in relation to either amiodarone or diltiazem employed as anti-arrhythmic agents.
