Objective To analyze predictive demographic and perioperative variables of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent exclusively coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods This was a retrospective cohort. We randomly selected 105 medical records of patients who underwent exclusively coronary artery bypass grafting in 2014. Demographic, clinical (preoperative and immediate postoperative) data and related with surgical procedure were collected from medical records. The occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was considered until the third day after the surgery. Variables were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. To identify predictive factors of postoperative atrial fibrillation we used a decision tree model with Classification and Regression Trees algorithm.Results Atrial fibrillation incidence was 19.0% (n=20). Patients with left atrial >40.5mm and aged >64.5 years were more likely to develop the arrhythmia during the post-surgical period.Conclusion Left atrial diameter and advanced age were predictive factors of atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent exclusively coronary artery bypass grafting.

“…Duarte et al30 determined the reliability of central atrial venous blood gasometry data as estimates of cardiac index in patients who underwent cardiac surgery and found that SvO 2 and the C(a-v)O 2 correlated with low cardiac output. Silva et al31 proposed and developed a risk index to predict Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.…”
Recent original scientific contributions published in selected Brazilian periodicals and classifiable under cardiovascular and pulmonary subject categories cover a wide range of sub specialties, both clinical and exprimental. Because they appear in journals with only recently enhanced visibility, we have decided to highlight a number of specific items appeared in four Brazilian journals, because we understand that this is an important subsidy to keep our readership adequately informed. These papers cover extensive sub-areas in both fields.
“…The peak incidence of this arrhythmia is on the second to fourth postoperative day, and studies indicate that its risk may be reduced with the administration of specific perioperative drugs 7,8 . The identification of patients at high risk for developing PAF may be of great value for early intervention and preventive measures to reduce morbimortality 5 Although these tachyarrhythmias are considered transient and benign, in specific patient clinical profiles, they may have different outcomes 1,4 .…”

Objective: To determine the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) of cardiac surgery, its impact on morbimortality and duration of hospital stay in a tertiary cardiology center of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Methods: Cohort study with 134 adult patients submitted to cardiac surgery. Results: the incidence was 32.8%. After multivariate analysis, patients who did not receive beta-blockers were associated with PAF with a relative risk odds ratio (RR) 10.73 (p <0.001). The highest rate of cardiovascular events (cerebrovascular accident, mortality, and acute coronary syndrome) was 25% in the PAF group. 10% (RR 3.21; p = 0.035) which, consequently, generated longer hospitalization time in these patients (19.1 vs. 12.5; p = 0.01). Conclusion: the incidence of PAF was high, caused a significant increase in morbimortality and duration of hospital stay, and consolidated the role of beta-blocker therapy in its prevention, and may serve as a basis for future prevention policies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
