Key result
Diffuse coronary artery disease was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation after isolated CABG compared to local coronary artery disease (35% vs 21%; p<0.05).
Why the study?
The incidence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation and its relationship with surgical parameters after isolated CABG remained to be evaluated across patients with local versus diffuse coronary artery disease.
Does diffuse coronary artery disease increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to local coronary artery disease?
Observational (n=227)
Does diffuse coronary artery disease increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to local coronary artery disease?
Diffuse coronary artery disease is associated with a significantly higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation following isolated CABG compared to local coronary artery disease.
Does not yet warrant changes in CABG perioperative care; leaves open whether diffuse CAD independently predicts POAF.

Ganaev et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease undergoing isolated CABG (n=227). Diffuse coronary artery disease vs. Local coronary artery disease was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) (p=<0.05). Diffuse coronary artery disease was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation after isolated CABG compared to local coronary artery disease (35% vs 21%; p<0.05).
