متن کاملColchicine for the Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation A New Indication for a Very Old Drug?
Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (postoperative atrial fibrillation [POAF]) is a common problem, affecting 10% to 50% of all cardiac surgery patients, with the risks of POAF increasing as a function of patient age and the complexity of the surgery performed. POAF is associated with increased length of hospital stay, increased risk of comorbid conditions, and increased risk of mortality...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, and the lifetime risk of developing AF is 25%. Even in the absence of structural heart disease AF is extremely common and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Risk factors for AF are age, sleep apnoea, valvular heart disease, hypertension, obesity, male gender, and type 2 diabe...
