Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Post CABG atrial fibrillation. Timepoint: Immediately after bypass surgery until discharge from the hospital. Method of measurement: ?in Intensive care unit with evaluation of continuous monitoring print and for Hospitalized patients with electrocardiography every 6 hours or when the patient is symptomatic.;To evaluate hospital length of stay, and determine the impact of AFP retention on several safety parameters (another arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, bradycardia, mortality, and stroke). Timepoint: 24 hours after intervention. Method of measurement: Time, ECG, troponin test.	—
