%X <strong>Background</strong><span><span><strong>:</strong> We aimed to investigate the effect of seasons on atrial fibrillation
that occurred after coronary bypass surgery operation. </span><b><span>Method</span></b><span>: 187
patients underwent coronary artery bypass operation in our clinic between July 2018</span></span><span> </span><span>-</span><span> </span><span>July 2019. Isolated coronary artery bypass graft
operation was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass to</span><span><span>179 of these patients. Forty three patients that
developed atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass operation, demographic,
laboratory findings and date of atrial fibrillation data investigated retrospectively. </span><b><span>Results</span></b><span><span>: Forty three patients developed atrial fibrillation after
coronary artery bypass surgery. Forty one patients operated in winter, 48 in
spring, 47 in summer, 43 in autumn and 13</span><span> patients developed atrial
fibrillation in winter, 11 (25.6%) in spring, 8 (20.9%) in summer and 11
(23.3%) in autumn respectively. There is no statistical significance found by Z
test that performed for all seasons for atri</span><span>al fibrillation. </span></span><b><span>Conclusion: </span></b><span>There
are many reasons that could play role on developing </span><a name=\"__DdeLink__481_457166208\"></a><span>atrial fibrillation after coronary artery
bypass surgery. There are many publications that report vitamin D deficiency as
a reason for developing atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass surgery. In
our study, we did not evaluate a relationship between the development of post
operative atrial fibrillation and seasons.</span></span>
