BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have attempted to determine the etiology and
prophylactic measures concerning atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery. However …

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common, expensive and potentially morbid
complication following cardiac surgery. POAF occurs in around 35% of cardiac surgery …

Background: Two recent meta-analyses demonstrated that angiotensin converting enzyme
inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) reduce the risk of developing …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether early prophylaxis with an L-type calcium
channel blocker reduces the incidence and morbidity associated with atrial fibrillation/flutter …

Background The incidence of supraventricular arrhythmias remains high following open-
heart surgery. The most common of these arrhythmias are atrial fibrillation and flutter (AFF) …

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent occurrence after
noncardiac surgery. It remains unclear whether POAF is associated with an increased risk of …

Background We attempted to evaluate if an oral‐only regimen was as effective in preventing
postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery, in comparison to a regimen that …

Post operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is more common than before due to increased
numbers of cardiac surgeries. This in turn is associated with increased incidence of post …

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a major complication after cardiac surgery which
can lead to high rates of morbidity and mortality, an enhanced length of hospital stay, and an …

Background Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is a common complication of open heart surgery and
ACC/AHA guidelines strongly recommend the use of prophylactic beta‐blockers (BB) for its …
