Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic strategies of rate control versus
rhythm control in cardiac surgery patients who develop in-hospital postoperative atrial
fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF). In patients who develop AF during hospitalization after
cardiac surgery, the hypothesis is that a strategy of rhythm control will reduce days in
hospital within 60 days of the occurrence of AF compared to a strategy of rate control.
