Impact of maintaining serum potassium concentration ≥ 3.6mEq/L versus ≥ 4.5mEq/L for 120 hours after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery on incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation: Protocol for a randomized non-inferiority trial.

Impact of maintaining serum potassium concentration ≥ 3.6mEq/L versus ≥ 4.5mEq/L for 120 hours after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery on incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation: Protocol for a randomized non-inferiority trial.

<h4>Background</h4>Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery (AFACS) occurs in about one in three patients following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). It is associated with increased short- and long-term morbidity, mortality and costs. To reduce AFACS incidence, efforts are often m...
