Abstract:Background
Recent studies have focused on the association between thyroid function within normal range and cardiovascular diseases, especially on free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels. This study aims to evaluate the effects of normal FT3 level on new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with surgical coronary revascularization.
Methods
The patients who underwent surgical coronary revascularization were enrolled in the retrospective study. Thyroid function was tested… Show more
