Abstract

Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are common arrhythmias after coronary artery bypass grafting. Although the consequences of the arrhythmia are generally not life-threatening, it constitutes a major clinical problem often requiring conversion to sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation or flutter can result in hypotension, heart failure, pneumonia, and stroke. This article reviews the literature on epidemiology, electrophysiology, risk factors, and preventive trials. The major conclusions are: (1) In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation or flutter is 20-30%, the peak incidence being on the second or third postoperative day. (2) The strongest independent preoperative predictor for atrial fibrillation or flutter is the patients' age. (3) Intra-atrial conduction delay recorded pre and peroperatively may predict development of atrial fibrillation. (4) Peroperative inducibility of atrial fibrillation by pacing the right atrium may identify patients at risk for postoperative atrial fibrillation. (5) Development of postoperative atrial fibrillation or flutter has not been associated with peroperative or postoperative events. (6) The specificity and sensitivity of age and other possible relevant factors for prediction of atrial fibrillation or flutter after coronary artery bypass grafting is low. (7) No effective prophylactic regimen has yet been established.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
