Atrial fibrillation incidence after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention: the prospective AFAF cohort study
Conclusion. New-onset atrial fibrillation during 30 days of follow-up was rare after percutaneous coronary intervention but common after coronary artery bypass grafting. A prolonged uninterrupted heart rhythm monitoring strategy identified additional patients in both groups with new-onset atrial fibrillation after discharge.PMID:38695238 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2024.2347297 (Source: Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal)

Physiological changes after fluid bolus therapy in cardiac surgery patients: A propensity score matched case-control study
CONCLUSION: In this quasi-experimental comparative ICU study in cardiac surgery patients, FBT was associated with statistically significant but numerically small increases in CO. Nearly half of FBT failed to induce a positive CO or MAP response.PMID:38690188 | PMC:PMC11056405 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.005 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)
