Is preoperative anemia a risk factor of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery?

Aim: The impact of preoperative anemia in coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) remains controversial and mostly associatedwith worse outcomes. Also, relationship between anemia and new on-set Atrial Fibrillation (NOAF) is still uncertain in patients whounderwent CABG. This study aimed to investigate the anemia whether a risk factor of NOAF in patients who underwent isolatedCABG.Material and Methods: Between March 2007 - December 2017 data of patients who underwent isolated CABG were retrospectivelyexamined and 2027 patients included in study. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level < 13 g/dl for men and
