Abstract

Purpose: Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation (AF) affects approximately 40% of patients undergoing heart valves surgery. Peri-operative Amiodarone has been shown to reduce the risk of post-operative AF in patients undergoing mostly coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of per-operative Amiodarone in reducing the risk of post-operative AF in valve patients. Methods: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial using peri-operative Amiodarone in patients undergoing valve surgery (isolated or concomitant with CABG).
