Why the study?
Does preoperative hypoalbuminemia increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in off-pump coronary bypass surgery patients?
Does preoperative hypoalbuminemia increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in off-pump coronary bypass surgery patients?
Preoperative hypoalbuminemia is identified as a risk factor for developing postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing off-pump coronary bypass surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Preoperative hypoalbuminemia may aid PoAF risk prediction after off-pump CABG; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
The present study, whose focus was on the effects of albumin levels on the occurrence of PoAF, found that low levels of pre-procedural albumin, as one of the major proteins in the blood, is a risk factor for the development of PoAF.
