Complicated: You need to be evaluated for 2nd or 3rd degree av block and for atrial fibrillation - the entities that require intervention and are known complications of your surgery. No doubt, your cardiologist is on it!

Nothing: If you have no symptoms and your heart rate is reasonable now you don't need to anything.
