Prophylactic effect of colchincine and amiodarone |
Official scientific title |
Prophylactic Effect of colchincine and amiodarone on occurrence of postoperative Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass Graft surgery |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
AF is one of the most common arrhythmic complication in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as it incidence varies from 25.6% to 31% primarily within 2 to3days.
.Amiodarone has been widely used for clinical purposes. Despite its antiarrhythmic characteristic, the use of this drug as a prophylactic agent against the occurrence of postoperative AF is uncommon and yet the use of amiodarone as prophylaxis in patients undergoing CABG is not routine. On the other hand, the role of amiodarone in reducing the post-CABG AF is controversial.
Although preliminary data from using colchicine for prevention of the post pericardiotomy syndrome and postoperative atrial fibrillation (COPPS) trial for 1-month postoperative treatment with colchicine were promising. But there is a limitation of the COPPS trial was that colchicine was begun on postoperative day 3. Its beneficial effect may be further optimized when colchicine is started before surgery.
So objective of this study is to investigate the effect of amiodarone and colchicine in reduction of post-CABG atrial fibrillation.
