New-onset post-CABG atrial fibrillation
This is a large multicenter observational study which includes 32,420 consecutive patients without pre-operative AF who underwent isolated CABG between 1/1/1997 and 12/31/2008 at Baylor University Medical Center (Dallas, TX), Emory University (Atlanta, GA), University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA), and Washington University (St. Louis, MO) using data from the STS database, patient medical records, administrative data, and the Social Security Administration Death Master File. The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the prophylaxis and management strategies for new-onset AF following isolated CABG and their impact on long-term survival (>15 years).
