Preoperative propranolol was associated with lower postoperative JET after TOF repair; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does preoperative propranolol reduce the incidence of postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia in patients undergoing surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot?
Preoperative use of propranolol is associated with a decreased incidence of postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia and shorter hospital stays after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
