Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preexisting atrial fibrillation on early and midterm clinical outcome in patients undergoing coronary surgery. All elective patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery between April 1996 and September 2002 were investigated. Patients were grouped according to their preoperative cardiac rhythm: sinus rhythm (SR) or preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF). In-hospital clinical outcomes and 5-year patient survival and cardiac-related event-free survival were compared using regression methods to adjust for differences between the groups. In all, 5,092 patients were identified, 175 (3.4%) with a history of preexisting AF. These patients were older (median, 64 versus 68 years) and had higher Parsonnet scores (median, 4 versus 8) than the SR group. Previous myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal impairment, peripheral vascular disease, ejection fraction less than 50%, previous surgery, congestive heart failure, and use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were also more common in the AF group. There were 60 in-hospital deaths (1.2%), with no difference between the two groups (odds ratio 1.02, 95% CI: 0.35 to ...Continue Reading
