관상동맥 우회로 조성수술후 발생하는 심방세동의 위험요인 분석

Abstract

A total of 249 patients undergoing isolated coronary revascularization were studied for the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation(AF). Possible associations of this arrhythmia with various preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors were studied by univariate and multivariate analysis. The overall incidence of postoperative AF was 15%, with the median time occurence of 48 hours(mean time : 59.1 ± 56.9 hours) after arrival to the intensive care unit. Cardiac index decreased significantly after occurence of AF(p=0.001). There were no in-hospital complications in those patients with AF. Univariate studies indicated preoperative ejection fract on(EF), triglyceride level, postoperative peak CKMB isoenzpme and atrial pacing to be the dominant factor promoting postoperative AF, with an increasing prevalence in lower EF(p=0.025), triglyceride(p=0.006) and peak CKMB isoenzyme(p=0.002), and in patients with atrial pacing(p=0.001). Hospital stay(p=0.001) and late mortality(p=0.003) were significantly increased in patients with postoperative AF Multivariate analysis showed that body weight and postoperative atrial pacing to be the dominant factor promoting postoperative AF, with an increasing prevalence in over- weight patients(p=0.011) and patients with atrial pacing(p=0.001). Both univariate and multivariate analy- sis showed that the age was not a significant factor but tended to promote postoperative AF respectively (p=0.053, 0.064). After 30.1 ± 11.4 months gfollow-up, those patients with AF had sinus rhythm. We think that we must try to prevent postoperative AF after ccoronary artery bypass grafting because of its deleterio s hemodynamic effect, prolonged hospital stay, and increased late mortality.
