Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Comparing the development of post-operative atrial fibrillation with oxidative stress and selenium levels in two risk groups of cardiac patients. Patients will have blood taken up to 5 days post-surgery to assess oxidative stress and selenium levels

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287873 0
In two different risk groups of patients having coronary artery surgery we will measure selenium levels and oxidative stress markers at various time points to see if an association exists between these markers and the development of post-operative atrial fibrillation. Oxidative stress will be measured by using the lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde.
