Conclusions: Cardiac surgery is associated with an elevated postoperative WBC count that represents a common marker of inflammation. A more pronounced increase in postoperative WBC count independently predicts development of postoperative AF. These data provide additional evidence to support the association between the inflammatory response and postoperative AF.
