Key result
Preoperative left atrial volume index (P=0.012) and age (P=0.007) were independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing elective CABG.

Do preoperative left atrial volume index and NT-pro ANP levels predict postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing elective CABG?
Preoperative 3D echocardiography-derived left atrial volume index and age are independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing elective CABG.
Hidayet et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=66). Preoperative left atrial volume index and NT-pro ANP levels was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Preoperative left atrial volume index (P=0.012) and age (P=0.007) were independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing elective CABG.
