Frequency of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Post-coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Patients in the Cardiac ICU

The incidence of NOAF in post-CABG patients remains significant based on previous researches. Age and pre-existing comorbidities, particularly hypertension and CAD, appear to contribute to AF development. Developing preoperative and intraoperative risk assessment tools may help identify patients at higher risk for post-CABG atrial fibrillation. Future interventional studies can evaluate strategies such as fluid management, early beta-blockers, or anti-inflammatory therapies to reduce the incidence of AF.
