“…Moreover, discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy may induce the release of some proarrhythmic platelet activation compounds [34]. We previously found that antiplatelet therapy is an independent risk factor of excessive postoperative bleeding and red blood cell transfusion [35]. Others have speculated that red blood cell transfusion is a risk factor of AF after cardiac operations [5].…”

“…16 Several investigators found a high correlation of less need for blood transfusion among obese patients and a suggestion of reduced postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and CPB. 17 Adipose tissues have been found to contain increased estrogens that have a variety of procoagulant effects on the coagulation system that might explain the decrease in bleeding. 7,8,17 Most obese patients have high concentrations of circulating leptin which is known to suppress food intake and increase energy expenditure.…”

Leptin also promotes human platelet aggregation which has been suggested as a mechanism for acute thrombotic events in obesity.…”

“…A preoperative factor is a high score of CHA2DS2-VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥75 y, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism, Vascular disease, Age 65–74 y, Sex category [female sex], obesity, withdrawal of beta-blockers, left atrial enlargement, left ventricular dysfunction, history of AF or other arrhythmias, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, intra-aortic balloon pump usage, intraoperative inotrope use, and hypomagnesemia. 6 , 8 - 11 Postoperative AF is less common after isolated CABG than valvular or combined CABG and valvular surgery. 10 , 12 Some studies have demonstrated a genetic predisposition as a risk factor for postoperative AF.…”

“…The reported incidence rates of postoperative AF are variable and range from 15% to 40%. 1 , 8 Postoperative AF may cause different major and minor complications such as myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, stroke, decreased short-term and long-term survival, higher costs of treatment, and longer lengths of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. 11 , 14 - 16 Considering age as the main predictor of postoperative AF and the incremental trend of the age of the patients needing CABG, the incidence of postoperative AF has been on the increase in the last decades.…”
