Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of people who suffer from atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery. Timepoint: The incidence of atrial fibrillation after surgery in the first five days after CABG surgery. Method of measurement: Atrial fibrillation is diagnosed based on the absence of distinct repetitive P waves followed by irregular RR intervals lasting at least 30 seconds on a 12-lead ECG obtained from the patient.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Examining the levels of CK-MB enzyme; troponin protein and hs-CRP. Timepoint: From one day before the operation to the first 5 days after the operation. Method of measurement: Checking the results of laboratory measurements and the information recorded in the patient's file.;Duration of atrial fibrillation after surgery. Timepoint: Daily from the day after surgery. Method of measurement: Counting the number of days a person has atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery and recording information based on the patient's file.;Duration of hospitalization in the intensive care unit. Timepoint: Daily from the day after surgery. Method of measurement: Counting the number of days a person is hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the hospital after surgery and based on the patient's admission file.;Duration of hospitalization.
