Clinical Trial: Randomized Interventional Clinical Trial on the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Using Colchicine, Amiodarone And a Posterior Pericardiotomy.

U.S., Oct. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07887022) titled 'Randomized Interventional Clinical Trial on the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Using Colchicine, Amiodarone And a Posterior Pericardiotomy.' on Oct. 15.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a bundle of three treatments can prevent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder often observed in adults following heart surgery. Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased risks of stroke and heart failure. The bundle consists of two drugs (colchicine and amiodarone) as well as a simple surgical technique called posterior pericardiotomy. The main question it aims to answer is whether this bundle can reduce...
