Key result
Postoperative treatment with carvedilol following landiolol did not significantly reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation after CABG, but significantly lowered the maximum ventricular rate.
Why the study?
Does postoperative treatment with carvedilol following landiolol reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing scheduled isolated CABG?

Postoperative carvedilol after landiolol should not change POAF prevention practice after CABG; leaves open rate-control benefits for randomized trials.
Cohort (n=53)
Does postoperative treatment with carvedilol following landiolol reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing scheduled isolated CABG?
Postoperative carvedilol following landiolol does not reduce the incidence of postoperative AF after CABG but effectively prevents tachycardia and the need for additional rate-control treatment during AF episodes.
Yoshioka et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting (n=53). Postoperative treatment with carvedilol following landiolol vs. Control group was evaluated on Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Postoperative treatment with carvedilol following landiolol did not significantly reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation after CABG, but significantly lowered the maximum ventricular rate.
