Abstract

An analysis of the evolution of the classification and the treatment guidelines of atrial fibrillation from 2006 to the present was performed. The case of postoperative atrial fibrillation was particularly analyzed, which can be included in more than one class of the current classification and about which there is no concept defined in the literature reviewed. A concept of postoperative atrial fibrillation was enunciated based on the review of its pathophysiology and the author’s opinion. Based on the characteristics that differentiate it from the others, was suggested that it should be considered as a sixth class within the current classification of atrial fibrillation.
