During the patient's intensive care unit (ICU) stay, they will be monitored constantly to detect atrial fibrillation (standard care). After ICU dismissal, patients will be monitored using the FibriCheck application to detect atrial fibrillation until 30 days postoperative. Patients need to use the FibriCheck application for a minimum of 3x/day and can perform extra measurements when symptoms are present.

The occurence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation using constant electrocardiogram monitoring and photoplethysmography (FibriCheck)
New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation will be detected until 30 days postoperatively. Constant electrocardiogram monitoring is performed at the intensive care unit (ICU). After dismissal from the ICU, the FibriCheck application is used to detect atrial fibrillation using photoplethysmography. Patients need to use the application three times a day and when symptoms are present.
Time frame: Until 30 days postoperatively
The effect of the closure of the pericardium on the development of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation
It will be registered if the pericardium is closed unilateral, bilateral or left open.
Time frame: Intraoperative
