| Objective | This study was designed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors associated with the occurrence of junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) in patients after congenital heart surgery. |
| p Value | 0.02 |
| Conclusion | The presence of JET did not correlate with electrolyte abnormalities. JET is not necessarily related to surgery near the His bundle or hypomagnesemia. Longer ischemic time is the best predictor of JET. Patients undergoing arterial switch operation, AV canal repair, and Norwood repair are at highest risk of postoperative JET and should be considered for prophylactic therapy. |
