Eur J Intern Med. 2021 Nov 8:S0953-6205(21)00361-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2021.10.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSepsis can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, of which the most common is atrial fibrillation (AF). Sepsis is associated with up to a six-fold higher risk of developing AF, where it occurs most commonly in the first 3 days of hospital admission. In many patients, AF detected during sepsis is the first documented episode of AF, either as an unmasking of sub-clinical AF or as a newly developed arrhythmia. In the short term, sepsis that is complicated by AF leads to longer hospital stays and an increased risk of inpati...
