What are the risk factors for atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery?
This prospective study aimed to identify risk factors for atrial fibrillation within 6 days after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports hypertension as post-CABG AF risk marker; hypothesis-generating for targeted trials.

Karakaş et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=250). Hypertension (Risk Factor) vs. Absence of hypertension was evaluated on Development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.04-7.32, p=<0.05). Hypertension increased the risk of developing atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery by 3.25-fold, alongside advanced age and preoperative calcium channel blocker use.
