Why the study?
Does postoperative atrial fibrillation increase the risk of late mortality in CABG patients?
Does postoperative atrial fibrillation increase the risk of late mortality in CABG patients?
Postoperative atrial fibrillation following CABG is a significant, age-independent risk factor that doubles the risk of cardiovascular mortality.
Post-CABG AF may warrant intensified long-term surveillance; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce late CV mortality.
Postoperative AF is an age-independent risk factor for late mortality in CABG patients, explained by an increased risk of cardiovascular death.
