<br/><br/> Postoperative arrhythmias are a major cause of morbidity after  cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. We studied the  incidence and possible risk factors of early postoperative  arrhythmias in 100 consecutive patients underwent cardiac surgery  in Post-operative Pediatric Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit  during 6 months. All patients had continuous ECG monitoring in the  ICU. Twenty patients (20%) had early postoperative arrhythmias.  The commonest was junctional ectopic tachycardia (15 patients).  Most of arrhythmias occurred after Fallot tetralogy and Ventricular  septal defect repair. Arrhythmias were more common after  prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic times
