Abstract

The rhythm disturbances is the most frequently complication after general surgery and is associated with significant morbidity, longer hospital stay, and higher costs. The studies about reason and mechanism of the development arrhythmias on background of surgical pathology is not enough, and, sometimes, inconsistent. The knowledge of arrhythmogenesis beside given categories patient will reduce risk of the development arrhythmias, and raise efficiency of the treatment.
