title: Role of postoperative vasopressor use in occurrence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting.
abstract: Vasopressor use is common after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. This study evaluated the role of postoperative vasopressor use as a predictor of occurrence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting and demonstrates that vasopressor use is an independent predictor of such an occurrence.
