Effect of Clinical and Genetic Factors on the Development of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) in Egyptian Patients Receiving Beta-Blockers.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Prophylactic beta-blockers are recommended to prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Polymorphisms in the beta-1 adrenergic receptor (ADRB1) and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) genes are associated with variable responses to beta-blockers. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and genetic factors that influence the response to beta-blockers for POAF prophylaxis after CABG.

Methods

Patients undergoing isolated CABG and receiving prophylactic beta-blockers (n = 249) were prospectively recruited and followed up for 6 postoperative days. Genotyping of ADRB1 rs1801253, and 3 GRK5 SNPs (rs3740563, rs10787959, and rs17098707) was performed.

Results

Of the 249 patients, 52 patients (20.8%
