Registration Number
NCT00654290
Lead Sponsor
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia post coronary bypass surgery, currently B-blockers are the class I indication to prevent AF post CABG. We decide to evaluate use of propranolol and amiodarone separately and together to find a better prophylaxis for AF peri-CABG

Detailed Description

In this double blind randomized study 240 consecutive patients underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting, being randomized prospectively into three groups, propranolol (p) (n=80), amiodarone (A) (n=80) and amiodarone with propranolol (AP) (n=80).

All groups received their medications from 7 days preoperatively and continued their medications for 5 days post CABG.
