Key result
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery are at risk of developing postoperative atrial fibrillation, with incidence rates ranging from 17% to 33%.
Why the study?
Detecting modifiable risk factors enables early primary and secondary prevention, motivating this review of the occurrence, risk factors, and management of AF in patients undergoing CABG.

Risk factor screening may aid AF prevention in CABG patients; leaves open optimal strategies pending prospective trials.
This review highlights that postoperative atrial fibrillation frequently complicates CABG, emphasizing the need for risk stratification and preventive strategies such as beta-blocker therapy.
Misiło et al. (2023) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation. Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery are at risk of developing postoperative atrial fibrillation, with incidence rates ranging from 17% to 33%.
