Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Incidence of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in the Omega‐3 Fatty Acids for Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation (OPERA) Trial

Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Incidence of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in the Omega‐3 Fatty Acids for Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation (OPERA) Trial

Background Animal study results point to oxidative stress as a key mechanism triggering postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF), yet the extent to which specific biomarkers of oxidative stress might relate to PoAF risk in humans remains speculative. Methods and Results We assessed the association o...
