The Relationship Between Random Blood Sugar Level and Arrhythmias After CABG

Abstract Background Arrhythmia is a major complication of CABG and it happens in 30 % of patients after CABG . Arrhythmias represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Mainly have a benign course, it may prolong the icu stay and rarely may lead to mortaility. Postoperative arrhythmias (POAs) include atrial tachyarrhythmia's (ATs) and to a lesser extent ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and Brady arrhythmias The outcome of arrhythmia depends on several factors like underlying cardiac function, patient’s comorbidities, arrhythmia duration, and ventricular response rate. So, POAs could be tolerated in some patients and a source of morbidity and mortality in others. Objective We aim to analyze the relationship between serum random blood sugar concentration (BS) and arrhythmias after CABG. Methodology We conducted a retrospective cohort study on 60 patients patients who underwent isolated elective on pump CABG divided in two groups group A arrhythmia group and group S non arrhythmia group patient clinical and procedure characters was notice and recorded Serum blood sugar. Results History of DM .insluin Intake, postoperative Mean AND Maximum BS and post operative drainage volume showed statistically significance (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion The predictors of postoperative Arrhythmias after CABG are hyperglycemia, history of Insluin intake and postoperative drainage volume. In particular, hyperglycemia and postoperative Arrhythmias after CABG were found to have a very strong association. Therefore, we believe that BS control should reduce the incidence of AF after CABG.
