The pathophysiology of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in cardiac surgery patients has not been fully elucidated, but inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with its occurrence. Increased activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and production of
World Health Organization (WHO) defines anemia as hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration less than 12.0 g/dL in pre-menopausal women, and lower than 13.0 g/dL in adult males and post-menopausal women .Diagnosis of anemia is of high significance, as it might be the first manifestation of a serious illness.
The development of atrial fibrillation (AF) following cardiac surgery is relatively common, occurring in approximately 25-60% of patients. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) carries the lowest risk of AF development, with an incidence of approximately 25-30%, followed by cardiac valve and
