Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Post-Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for achalasia is a concern due to the potential implications on patient safety and outcome. While POEM is an effective treatment, emerging evidence suggests an association with AF with hypothetical origin reasons as factors like vagal nerve stimulation or electrolyte imbalances. Further research is needed to clarify mechanisms and optimize perioperative strategies to prevent AF.
