Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common disorientations after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and can affect the chance of survival in the first year after surgery. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its risk factors.   Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 854 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft in hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The required data were collected using the electrocardiogram, angiography, and demographic characteristic form. Finally, the collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 22).   Results: According to findings, 46% of the patients suffered from a disorder in three coronary arteries. The most common structural disorders in patients were mitral regurgitation (14.9%) and left atrium enlargement and hypertrophy (10.5%). The most common underlying conditions in the participants were hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes which were observed in 74.4%, 56.2%, and 31.8% of them, respectively. Moreover, the incidence rate of atrial fibrillation in the participants was 18.9%. Furthermore, atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery had a significant relationship with left ventricular size and its hypertrophy, age, and duration of smoking (P<0.001).   Conclusion: Since atrial fibrillation was observed in about one-fifth of the subjects and smoking is a moderating factor in the incidence of this disease, smoking cessation is recommended. In addition, healthcare providers can consider the size of the left atrium and its hypertrophy during care and treatment.

relationship between blood transfusion and increased risk of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery

background: new-onset atrial fibrillation (af) after cardiac surgery contributes to increased morbidity, hospital length of stay, and resource utilization. although many aspects of af after cardiac surgery have already been elucidated, the mechanism by which cardiac surgery predisposes patients to af has hitherto remained unknown. recent evidence supports the notion that blood transfusion enhan...

Associations between preoperative P-wave characteristics, C-reactive protein levels, and atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery

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: ...

Risk of Falling after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery And its Related Factors

Abstract Introduction: A fall is a sudden descent on the ground or other lower levels. It is a serious safety threat for hospitalized patients. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery as an open heart surgery has complications such as cardiac arrhythmias and delirium that can increase the risk of fall. Objective: This study aims to determine the risk of falls in patients after CABG surger...

Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common adverse event following coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A recent study identified chromosome 4q25 variants associated with AF in ambulatory populations. However, their role in postoperative AF is unknown. We hypothesized that genetic variants in the 4q25 chromosomal region are independently associated with postoperative AF after coron...

Incidence and Predictors of New-Onset Silent Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

AIMS We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of silent atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS This observational study prospectively included 100 patients referred for CABG surgery. Holter ECG monitoring was used to record every arrhythmic event for 7 days. AF was defined as at least one episode >30 s. Episodes recorded o...
