Abstract

Cigarette smoking is an important modifiable risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation. However, the impact of smoking on postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains controversial. We performed this meta-analysis to explore the association of smoking with postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac surgery. We systematically searched 2 computer-based databases (PubMed and EMBASE) up to July 2019 for all relevant studies. A random-effects model was selected to pool the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). In this meta-analysis, the protocol and reporting of the results were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A total of 36 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, smoking was not associated with an increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-1.02). The corresponding results were stable in the subgroup analyses. Specifically, smoking was not associated with an increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation regardless of the type of cardiac surgery: coronary artery bypass graf...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
