Article Synopsis
- - New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after cardiac surgery, particularly coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), with an estimated incidence of about 30%, but it’s often temporary and under-detected.
- - Previous studies on POAF have used intermittent monitoring techniques that may miss many cases, leading to inaccurate assessments of how often arrhythmias occur post-surgery.
- - The CABG-AF study aims to get a clearer picture of AF incidence and patterns after CABG by using continuous monitoring with an insertable cardiac device in 196 patients, tracking episodes over a planned follow-up of three years.
