Key result
Plasma vitamin D levels show no link to early atrial fibrillation after CABG.
Why the study?
There have been few studies evaluating the relationship between plasma vitamin D levels and the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG, with inconsistent results.
Is the plasma level of vitamin D associated with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing CABG?
Population
50 patients undergoing CABG with CPB
Comparison
Patients with postoperative AF within 48 hours vs patients without AF
Design
Cross-sectional study with simple random sampling
Follow-up
48 hours

No association between vitamin D levels and post-CABG AF; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Is the plasma level of vitamin D associated with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing CABG?
Absolute Event Rate: 27.4% vs 28.2%
p-value: p=0.803
Plasma levels of vitamin D are not significantly associated with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation within 48 hours after CABG.
Shdvar et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Postoperative atrial fibrillation (n=50). Plasma level of Vitamin D was evaluated on Mean plasma level of vitamin D (ng/ml) (p=0.803). Plasma levels of vitamin D did not significantly differ between patients who developed atrial fibrillation within 48 hours after CABG and those who did not (27.4 vs 28.2 ng/ml; p=0.803).
