To Pace Or Not To Pace! — Prevention Of Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very undesirable, but unfortunately a common arrhythmia following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, occurring in up to 40% of patients1. There is an increase in hospital stay2 and adds to the overall cost of the surgery. Atrial fibrillation occurrence may identify a subset of patients with reduced survival3. Prevention of AF therefore would have a significant positive impact on patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a frequent complication responsible for high morbidity, a prolonged hospital stay and significant extra costs (1). In five controlled trials recently published or presented orally at meetings (2–6), the incidence of AF was still as high as 27% to 39%. Progress in operative techniques, anesthesia and card...

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication of cardiac surgery which may cause remarkable morbidity and complications. Identifying predicting factors of this arrhythmia can help prophylactic therapy. The present study is designed to investigate the hypothesis that HsCRP level and P-wave characteristics are associated with the incidence of post-operative AF. Methods: ...
