Left Atrial Strain to Predict Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of left atrial strain (LAS) to predict POAF in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).
