Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been associated with increased risk of death in women but not men. We aimed to explore predictors and long-term mortality POAF following isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery men women.This study included 379 severe stenosis patients no prior (AF) who underwent AVR surgery. used multiple logistic regression investigate independent gender-specific new-onset POAF, we performed Kaplan-Meier (KM) determine the impact according gender.Advanced age disease prevalence were higher among both genders. On analysis, postoperative peak lactate was independently men, while lower mean gradient women. Area under curve (AUC) for model 0.77 [0.68-0.86] 0.69 [0.60-0.78] women, respectively. At 4-year follow-up, linked women.In stenosis, factors its on differed between genders, an observed only
