and is associated with an increased risk of post‐operative stroke, increased length of …

Amiodarone has been proposed to decrease atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. The
literature was systematically reviewed for randomized trials comparing amiodarone with …

to evaluate, by meta-analysis, all randomized trials testing interventions for preventing AF …

ContextAtrial tachyarrhythmias after cardiac surgery are associated with adverse outcomes
and increased costs. Previous trials of amiodarone prophylaxis, while promising, were …

Objective To derive a simple clinical prediction rule identifying patients at high risk of
developing new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery. Design …

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia occurring after cardiac surgery. Its
incidence varies depending on type of surgery. Postoperative AF may cause hemodynamic …

Study Objective. To investigate a possible dose‐response relationship between amiodarone
and reduction in incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, and to determine whether pre …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs often in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) and can result in increased morbidity and mortality. Previous studies using P-wave …

Background Guideline recommendations regarding the preferred preventive measures for
postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) are unclear, nor have we found any review articles …

Purpose. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the safety of amiodarone in the
prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Methods. A search of the medical literature was …
