Colchicine reduces postoperative atrial fibrillation: results of the Colchicine for the Prevention of the Postpericardiotomy Syndrome (COPPS) atrial fibrillation substudy.
BACKGROUND Inflammation and pericarditis may be contributing factors for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), and both are potentially affected by antiinflammatory drugs and colchicine, which has been shown to be safe and efficacious for the prevention of pericarditis and the postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS). The aim of the Colchicine for the Prevention of the Post-Pericardiotomy Syndrome...

متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, and the lifetime risk of developing AF is 25%. Even in the absence of structural heart disease AF is extremely common and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Risk factors for AF are age, sleep apnoea, valvular heart disease, hypertension, obesity, male gender, and type 2 diabe...
متن کاملPostoperative Atrial Fibrillation
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common among surgical patients and associated with a worse outcome. Pathophysiology of POAF is not fully disclosed, and several perioperative factors could be involved. Direct cardiac stimulation from perioperative use of catecholamines or increased sympathetic outflow from volume loss/anaemia/pain may play a role. Metabolic alterations, such as hypo-...
متن کاملColchicine to Reduce Atrial Fibrillation in the Postoperative Period of Myocardial Revascularization
BACKGROUND The high prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the postoperative period of myocardial revascularization surgery increases morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of colchicine to prevent AF in the postoperative period of myocardial revascularization surgery, the impact of AF on hospital length of stay and death, and to identify its risk factors. METHODS Betw...
