Johannes Bargehr, Jorge F. Trejo‐Gutierrez, Tushar Patel, Barry Rosser, Jaime Aranda‐Michel, Maria L. Yataco, C. Burcin Taner – 8 December 2014 – Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and it is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and all‐cause mortality. Our aim was to determine the impact of preexisting AF on patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). A retrospective case‐control study was performed. Records from patients who underwent LT between January 2005 and December 2008 at Mayo Clinic Florida were reviewed.
