Ce-452780-3 predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in cardiac and non-cardiac patients with post-operative atrial fibrillation

Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) that occurs within 90 days of surgical procedure. Its underlying mechanism is believed to be related to factors such as inflammation, adrenergic surplus, infections and hypoxia. The predictors of AF recurrence in POAF population are not well defined. Establishing potential predictors of AF recurrence in POAF patients could help clinicians identify patients who are at increased risk of stroke and other complications.
