[Epidemiology and new predictors of atrial fibrillation after coronary surgery].

Introduction And Objectives: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) is a frequent complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Our aims were to study its epidemiology and to identify predictors in everyday clinical practice, while taking into account statin use, extracorporeal circulation, and new biomarkers of inflammation and ventricular stress.

Methods: The study included 102 consecutive patients (65 [9] years, 72% male) who were undergoing CABG.
