Incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective 2-year follow-up observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia in patients with ischaemic heart disease. New-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary revascularisation is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to determine the long-term cumulative incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation after percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Methods

A prospective observational cohort study in a real-world population setting, conducted at three tertiary centres, on new-onset atrial fibrillation incidence after percutaneous coronary intervention (N=123) or coronary artery bypass grafting (N=123). Heart rhythm was monitored the first 30 days in hospital by telemetry and on discharge using a handheld thumb ECG device three times
