Abstract:Objective
To investigate the relationship between aortic stiffness and postoperative
atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG).
Methods
This study included 110 patients undergoing elective isolated CABG. Aortic
stiffness was measured using a noninvasive oscillometric sphygmomanometer
before surgery. Characteristics of patients with and without POAF were
compared.
Results
POAF developed in 32 (29.… Show more
