Abstract:Background:
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) has a complex
etiology, and beta-blockers are commonly recommended for its pharmacological
prevention. This study aims to assess the impact of beta-blocker therapy on
postoperative AF occurrence in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement,
mitral valve replacement, surgical revascularization of the myocardium, or a
combination of these procedures.
Methods:
The study
encompassed 472 patients who received aortic… Show more
