Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of POAF untill 3 months after cardiac surgery. determining an electrophysiological substrate for development of post operative atrial fibrillation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of POAF untill 3years after cardiac surgery. Determine risk factors for early and late POAF. Detect pre-operative (unnoticed) episodes of AF. Determining an electrophysiological and histological substrate for the incidence of paroxysmal AF in the first 3 years post cardiac surgery. | — |
