Age and PITX2 variant predict atrial fibrillation after heart surgery

In 364 cardiac surgery patients, age (odds ratio 1.71 per decade) and a PITX2 variant (odds ratio 1.91) independently predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation, while…In 364 cardiac surgery patients, age (odds ratio 1.71 per decade) and a PITX2 variant (odds ratio 1.91) independently predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation, while inflammatory markers did not.
