“…AF may lead to increased risk of hemodynamic compromise, prolonged hospitalization, and increased risk for cerebral thromboembolism. 3 In this study the proportion of patients who developed AF was 18% which peaked on the third followed by the second postoperative day. This is consistent with a study by Lewicki et al in which 18.3% ONCABG and 19.3% OPCABG patients developed AF and they also observed that the peak incidence of arrhythmia was on the second and third postoperative day.…”

“…4 Perrier et al reported an AF incidence of 21% and Arribas-Leal et al reported an incidence of 23% with on pump CABG. 3,5 This shows that there is no much variation in the incidence of AF in patients undergoing on pump versus off pump CABG. However, a meta-analysis showed that there was a significant reduction of AF in the OPCABG group.…”

“…[1] Among patients undergoing CABG, AF incidence has been reported to vary between 10% and 30%. [2,3] Although AF is a benign and often self-limiting disorder, it has significant adverse effects on the recovery which may lead to hemodynamic instability, renal insufficiency, prolonged requirement for ventilatory support, thromboembolic complications, and stroke. [4,5] As, the length of hospital stay and cost of care may increase in this case, [6] many investigations have addressed to identify patients at a higher risk for AF to improve postoperative recovery and reduce the cost.…”
