Why the study?
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative tachyarrhythmias compared to on-pump CABG in patients undergoing CABG with LVEF >40%?
Population
60 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with left ventricle ejection fraction >40%
Comparison
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
7 days postoperatively

Off-pump CABG does not reduce tachyarrhythmias in preserved LVEF; hypothesis-generating for higher SVT and requires RCT confirmation.
Does off-pump CABG reduce the incidence of postoperative tachyarrhythmias compared to on-pump CABG in patients undergoing CABG with LVEF >40%?
Off-pump CABG does not appear to reduce the risk of postoperative tachyarrhythmias compared to on-pump CABG in patients with preserved LVEF.
