Does early enteral administration of low-dose propranolol reduce the incidence of postoperative supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Early reinstitution of low-dose enteral propranolol significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative supraventricular tachyarrhythmias following coronary artery bypass surgery.
