Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) is the most common arrhythmic complication detected after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly patients. Mean platelet volume (MPV) shows the activation of platelets effective in the inflammatory and thrombotic process. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relations between the preoperative MPV levels and development of PoAF in isolated CABG in elderly patients.
Methods: A total of 103 elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years), who underwent isolated CABG and were at preoperative sinus rhythm, were included in the study. Patients who did not have PoAF were identified as Group 1 (N = 74), and those with PoAF were identified as Group 2 (N = 29).
Results: PoAF incidence was 28.2%. Preoperative MPV level was 8.41 ± 1.13 fL in Group 1, and 9.28 ± 1.00 fL in Group 2. The difference was statistically significant (P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, preoperative hemoglobin, and preoperative MPV were independent predictive factors for PoAF development (OR [odds ratio]: 1.149, 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.043-1.265, P = .005; OR: 1.334, 95% CI: 1.013-1.758, P = .040; OR: 2.103, 95% CI: 1.324-3.339, P = .002, respectively). The cut-off value for MPV as the predictor of PoAF development was found to be 8.43 (sensitivity: 82.8% and specificity: 55.4%).
Conclusion: This study showed that MPV levels are associated with PoAF development in elderly patients, and other independent predictive factors include age and preoperative hemoglobin levels for POAF development.

Aims: This study aimed to explore the association between glycemic variability (GV) and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) incidence.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we included patients undergoing cardiac surgeries. GV was calculated as the coefficient of variation of blood glucose and categorized into tertiles based on its distribution.

Introduction: Obesity is an independent risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. POAF in patients with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m) is less studied. Whether waist circumference (WC) improves prediction of POAF independently of BMI among patients with severe obesity remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between endothelial activation and systemic inflammation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, focusing on how these factors contribute to postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
- Researchers compared 117 patients, including those with permanent AF and POAF, measuring various biological markers and cellular expressions related to heart function and inflammation.
- Findings indicate that both permanent AF and POAF patients exhibited higher signs of inflammation and endothelial activation, which may lead to atrial remodeling and increased risk of AF compared to non-AF patients.

In heart failure (HF) patients undergoing cardiac surgery, an increased activity of mechanisms related to cardiac remodeling may determine a higher risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Given that atrial fibrillation (AF) has a negative impact on the course and management of HF, including the need for anticoagulation therapy, identifying the factors associated with AF occurrence after cardiac surgery is crucial for the prognosis of these patients. POAF is thought to occur when various clinical and biochemical triggers act on susceptible cardiac tissue (first hit), with oxidative stress and inflammation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery being potential contributing factors (second hit).

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is frequently observed after cardiac surgery, and duration of Bypass Time (CPB) is an independent risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). The main objective of the current study was to compare new onset Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft with and without long CPB time.
Methods: A prospective comparative study design was used and conducted at the Cardiac Surgery Department in Bahawalpur- Pakistan which is a tertiary care health centre for the period of April 2020 to February 2021, a total of 110 patients were enrolled after getting institutional approval and informed consent from patients.
