Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting. Although transient, POAF is linked to increased late mortality. We hypothesized that POAF increases late cerebrovascular (CeV) and composite cerebrovascular/cardiovascular/vascular (CV* = CeV + CV + Other-V) but not non-cardiovascular (Non-CV) mortality.
