N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide as a predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting patients
For patients undergoing off-pump CABG, increased age, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left atrial diameter (LAD), creatinine levels, and a preoperative NT-proBNP level of 388 pg/mL or greater emerged as significant risk factors for POAF. Identifying individuals predisposed to POAF enables the design of trials evaluating preventive strategies to mitigate this complication.
