  1. Data are presented as n (%), mean ± SD, or median (IQR). *Pre- and intraoperative IABP use; postoperative use was not recorded as it may begin after POAF onset; #used only if POAF occurred; BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NYHA, New York Heart Association; ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; CCB, calcium channel blockers; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; WBC, white blood cell; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CK-MB, Creatine Kinase-MB; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; IABP, intra-aortic balloon pump; POAF, postoperative atrial fibrillation; post-op, post-operative; h, hour; IQR, inter-quartile range; SD, standard deviation; Clinical characteristics were compared using Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables.
