Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Incidence of atrial fibrillation 12 months after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Atrial fibrillation burden within the first 12 months after surgery - Atrial fibrillation density within the first 12 months after surgery - Ratio of silent to symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes in the first 12 months after surgery - Sinus arrest > 6 seconds within the first 12 months after surgery - Higher degree atrioventricular block = IIa within the first 12 months after surgery - Incidence of ischemic stroke in the first 12 months after surgery - All-cause mortality at 12 months - Cardiovascular mortality at 12 months - Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events at 12 months - Quality of life at 3 and 12 months (as compared to preoperatively)	—
