Effect of Preoperative Atrial Fibrillation on Postoperative Outcome following Cardiac Surgery
Atrial fibrillation remains the commonest arrhythmia encountered in cardiac surgery. Data on the effect of preoperative atrial fibrillation on postoperative outcome remain limited. We sought to assess the effects preoperative atrial fibrillation on patients' outcome following cardiac surgery. This is a retrospective review of prospectively collected departmental data of all patients who underwe...
متن کاملEffect of preoperative statin therapy on postoperative atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the randomized trial by Ji et al1 of preoperative atorvastatin therapy to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Their results showed that patients undergoing preoperative administration of oral atorvastatin had a lower incidence of postoperative AF vs preoperative administration of oral placebo (14% vs 34%...
متن کاملPreoperative atrial fibrillation decreases event-free survival following cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between preoperative atrial fibrillation and early and late clinical outcomes following cardiac surgery. METHODS A retrospective cohort including all consecutive coronary artery bypass graft and/or valve surgery patients between 1995 and 2005 was identified (n = 9796). No patient had a concomitant surgical AF ablation. The association between preopera...
متن کاملPostoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia frequently seen in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery. In this context, it is associated with the presence of comorbidities, longer length of hospital stay, and higher costs related to surgery. The mechanisms involved in the genesis of AF in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery (AFPO) are different from those causing paroxysmal AF. Knowl...
متن کاملEffect of statins in preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Postoperative occurrence of AF has been associated with less favourable outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and may result in increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES A focused clinical question was designed and a meta-analysis of published studies was performed to identify the effect of preoperative use of statins on the occurrence of AF after cardia...
