May not be feasible to predict post-CABG AF with routine data; confirms prior weak models and leaves open need for novel markers.
What are the predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting?
It may not be feasible to robustly predict the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation after isolated CABG using data readily available to the bedside clinician.
Hravnak et al. (2002) studied this question.
