NCT ID NCT03868150

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study involves 600 adults having their first open-heart surgery. Doctors will use a temporary pacemaker to test if the heart is prone to atrial fibrillation (AFib) during the operation. Those who show risk will be randomly assigned to receive the drug amiodarone or standard care to see if it prevents AFib after surgery. The goal is to reduce complications like stroke and hospital stays.
