Postoperative AF after CABG is associated with increased long-term stroke risk.
Why the study?
Does postoperative atrial fibrillation increase the long-term risk of stroke in patients after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery?

Postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG is not a benign complication and is associated with a higher risk of stroke.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Post-CABG pAF was associated with higher long-term CVA risk; leaves open whether anticoagulation or monitoring alters outcomes.
Patients with pAF after coronary artery bypass grafting are at higher risk of CVA. These findings challenge the notion that pAF is a benign complication.
