Abstract:Aim. To study the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) before coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and on days 7-10, as well as to assess the association of perioperative changes in hsCRP with the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).Material and methods. The study included 80 patients (71 (88,75%) men) who underwent an elective CABG in Cardiac Surgery Department of Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine. The first episode of POAF was considered an episode of arrhyth… Show more
