Summary
This study tests whether the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can reduce organ damage after heart surgery. About 768 adults aged 50-80 having planned heart surgery will take either colchicine or a placebo before and after their operation. Researchers will track complications like atrial fibrillation, heart attack, and lung injury.

What this could lead to
