Abstract Background and Aims Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory drug that may prevent
post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF). The effect of this drug has been inconsistently shown …

Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common complication after
cardiothoracic surgery or cardiac intervention. Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory agent that …

The role of colchicine for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following
cardiothoracic surgery is not well-established. We aimed to evaluate its potential in …

Background Atrial fibrillation occurs frequently after open-heart surgery. It is associated with
increased morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs …

Objective: This study intended to assess the efficacy of colchicine for prevention of post-
operative atrial fibrillation (AF). Background: Post-operative AF is a common complication of …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of colchicine for
prevention of post-operative atrial fibrillation. Background: Proinflammatory processes …

Background Studies using 1 mg of colchicine to prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation
(POAF) reported conflicting results. Moreover, colchicine was associated with significant …

Background. Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication of cardiac
surgery. It has been proven to be associated with an increase in the incidence of early …

Background. In patients who underwent cardiac surgery, first-time postoperative atrial
fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased incidence of hospital-acquired complications …

Objectives: Inflammation is one of the predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) following surgical or
interventional cardiac procedures. Recent evidence suggests that colchicine may represent …
