Perioperative Biomarkers Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation Risk After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Narrative Review
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery remains a highly prevalent and costly condition that negatively impacts patient quality of life and survival. Numerous retrospective studies, meta-analysis, and review papers have been reported identifying POAF risk based on patients ’ risk factors and clinical biomarkers. In this narrative review, the authors report significant variations among selected pre- and perioperative biomarkers used to predict POAF incidence in patients without a history of atrial fibrillation (AF).
