European Society of Cardiology Sep 1 2024 For the prevention of new-onset atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery, giving potassium supplements only when levels dropped below the lower limit of normal was non-inferior to routinely supplementing potassium to the upper limit of normal, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024.
Benjamin O'Brien, Chief Investigator, Professor from the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité, Berlin, Germany The primary endpoint was the presence of new-onset AF after cardiac surgery in the 120 hours after the operation, or up until discharge from hospital, whichever was sooner. AFACS was defined as an episode of AF, flutter or tachyarrhythmia, of at least 30 seconds duration and all primary outcome events were validated by an Event Validation Committee, blinded to treatment arm allocation.
