Objectives: This study was designed to assess whether the reinforcement of the antioxidant
system, through n-3 fatty acids plus antioxidant vitamin supplementation, could reduce the …

Background Animal study results point to oxidative stress as a key mechanism triggering
postoperative atrial fibrillation (Po AF), yet the extent to which specific biomarkers of …

OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal circulation is associated with ischaemia–reperfusion-induced
oxidative stress and atrial fibrillation (AF). Ageing is the major risk factor for this arrhythmia …

Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) affects approximately 30% of patients
undergoing elective cardiac surgery. While its pathogenesis is multifactorial, increasing …

This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the impact of antioxidants (N-
acetylcysteine [NAC], polyunsaturated fatty acids [PUFAs] and vitamins) on incidence of …

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia following cardiac surgery
with extracorporeal circulation. The pathogenesis of postoperative AF is multifactorial …

BACKGROUND: New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) continues to be among the
most common complications after cardiac surgery, leading to significant morbidity and cost …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that occurs postoperatively in cardiac surgery.
There is evidence for the role of oxidative stress in the etiology of AF. In our study, we …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia associated with coronary
artery surgery and is an important factor contributing to postoperative morbidity and …

Ischemia-reperfusion has been reported to be associated with augmented oxidative stress in
the course of surgery, which might be causally involved in the onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) …
