Does prophylactic amiodarone reduce the incidence of arrhythmias in patients after coronary artery surgery?
Does prophylactic amiodarone reduce the incidence of arrhythmias in patients after coronary artery surgery?
Prophylactic amiodarone after coronary artery surgery reduces clinically significant tachycardias but significantly increases the risk of bradycardia, which may preclude its routine use.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May reduce treated arrhythmias after CABG; confirms RCT benefit but bradycardia risk precludes routine use.
Butler et al. (1993) studied this question.
