Does postoperative atrial fibrillation increase the incidence of stroke and acute renal failure in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery?
Postoperative atrial fibrillation following myocardial revascularization is associated with a significantly higher incidence of stroke and acute renal failure.
