Key result
Perioperative inflammatory markers show unconfirmed links to new-onset postoperative AF in preliminary data.
Why the study?
Inflammation may play a pivotal role in the onset and propagation of atrial fibrillation after on pump coronary artery bypass surgery, which is associated with a significant inflammatory response and high incidence of AF.
Is perioperative serum inflammatory response associated with the development of new onset atrial fibrillation in non-diabetic patients undergoing first time non-emergency on pump coronary artery bypass grafting?
Observational (n=149)

Results unavailable to assess association; leaves open whether perioperative inflammation predicts new-onset AF after CABG.
John Cosgrave (2005) conducted an observational in Postoperative atrial fibrillation (n=149). Perioperative inflammatory response was evaluated on New onset AF that persisted for at least one hour or that required urgent treatment because of instability. The study investigated the association between perioperative inflammatory response and postoperative atrial fibrillation, but results were not reported in the truncated abstract.
