Abstract：Lung transplantation has become a major treatment method for endstage lung diseases, however the incidence of atrial arrhythmias is relatively high after lung transplantation,among which atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common. Understanding the inducing factors and pathogenesis of AF after lung transplantation helps to make early identification of highrisky patients and provide an appropriate scheme of treating postoperative AF, contributing to reducing mortality and improving prognosis. This paper mainly reviews on the incidence, risk factors, pathogenesis, therapy and influence on the prognosis of AF after lung transplantation.
