Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is widely used to treat patients with coronary artery disease. The most common complication after CABG is cardiac atrial dysrhythmias. Definitive patient characteristics that predict the development of atrial dysrhythmias postoperatively have not been identified. The authors review past research studies regarding predictors of atrial dysrhythmias and present research-based recommendations for clinical practice.
