Abstract

Results: According to findings, 46% of the patients suffered from a disorder in three coronary arteries. The most common structural disorders in patients were mitral regurgitation (14.9%) and left atrium enlargement and hypertrophy (10.5%). The most common underlying conditions in the participants were hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes which were observed in 74.4%, 56.2%, and 31.8% of them, respectively. Moreover, the incidence rate of atrial fibrillation in the participants was 18.9%. Furthermore, atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery had a significant relationship with left ventricular size and its hypertrophy, age, and duration of smoking (P<0.001).
