Prediction of atrial fibrillation via atrial electromechanical interval after coronary artery bypass grafting

Objectives: We sought to analyze the value of measuring atrial electromechanical interval (AEMI) in predicting post coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) atrial fibrillation (AF). Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia after CABG with as many as 10–40%. Several predictors are...
