Incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective 2-year follow-up observational study Open
Background Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia in patients with ischaemic heart disease. New-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary revascularisation is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to determin…

Validation of a handheld single‐lead ECG algorithm for atrial fibrillation detection after coronary revascularization Open
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rapidly increasing global public health concern entailing a high risk for ischemic stroke that can largely be avoided with anticoagulation therapy. AF is often underdiagnosed and there is a need for…

Long-term antithrombotic therapy after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with preoperative atrial fibrillation. A nationwide observational study from the SWEDEHEART registry Open
In this real-world observational study, a high proportion of patients with AF, undergoing CABG, did not receive a long-term OAC therapy. Treatment with OAC alone was associated with a net clinical benefit, compared with PI alone or PI + OA…

Temperature effects on incidence of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection in the Nordics Open
We aimed to investigate a hypothesised association between daily mean temperature and the risk of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). For the period of 1 January 2005 until 31 December 2019, we collected daily data on mean …

Stroke Risk Stratification in Patients With Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Open
Background The CHA 2 DS 2 ‐VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes, previous stroke or TIA [transient ischemic attack], vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category female; 2 indicates 2 points, otherwis…

Clinical Course of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery and Long-term Outcome Open
A more complicated POAF course is associated with increased long-term risk for heart failure hospitalization but not for all-cause mortality or thromboembolic complications.

Validation of two self-reported physical activity instruments against accelerometer data in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery Open
Both OMPAQ and IPAQ-E give valid information on physical activity after lung cancer surgery, and might be used for screening patients in clinical settings. The OMPAQ provided stronger correlation and specificity than the IPAQ-E, and might …

Once after a full moon: acute type A aortic dissection and lunar phases Open
OBJECTIVES Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a rare but severe condition, routinely treated with emergent cardiac surgery. Many surgeons have the notion that patients with ATAAD tend to come in clusters, but no studies have examine…

New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Long‐Term Outcome: A Population‐Based Nationwide Study From the SWEDEHEART Registry Open
Background The long‐term impact of new‐onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting and the benefit of early‐initiated oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with POAF are uncertain. Methods and Resu…

Stroke in acute type A aortic dissection: the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (NORCAAD) Open
OBJECTIVES Stroke is a serious complication in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Previous studies investigating stroke in ATAAD patients have been limited by small cohorts and have shown diverging results. We sought to …

Comparison of warfarin versus antiplatelet therapy after surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement Open
Objectives To compare effectiveness of warfarin and antiplatelet exposure regarding both thrombotic and bleeding events, following surgical aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis(bioSAVR). Methods The study included all pati…
