Key result
Older age, lower ejection fraction, left atrial enlargement, longer P(max), and increased P-wave dispersion were independent predictors of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting.

May support preoperative AF risk stratification after CABG; leaves open whether modifying predictors reduces incidence.
Cohort (n=57)
Age, poor left ventricular function, left atrial enlargement, P(max), and P-wave dispersion are independent predictors of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Doğan et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery (n=57). Clinical, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic risk factors (age, ejection fraction, P-wave dispersion) was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation. Older age, lower ejection fraction, left atrial enlargement, longer P(max), and increased P-wave dispersion were independent predictors of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting.
