Predictive factors of post-operative atrial fibrillation after myocardial revascularization and its impact on mortality and morbidity

Results The incidence of POAF was 12.4% (2302 progressed without POAF Group I and 326 with POAFGroup II. Among the predictive factors for the occurrence of POAF, observed: age (Group I: 61.2 ± 9.38, group II: 66.8 ± 8.9, p /= 2.2mg/dl (p=0.002); COPD (p=0.001), ICC (p=0.004), EuroSCORE (p /= 2,2mg/dl, CHF, EuroSCORE, blood transfusion, emergency surgery/emergency (p= 0.006), postoperative stroke (p<0.001) and RI postoperatively (p<0.001) variables were independently predictive of POAF event. Due to the strong correlation with the increased length of hospitalization, mortality and re-hospitalization in these patients, we must implement strategies for POAF prophylaxis and prevention.
