Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20-40% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and is a marker of atrial vulnerability. It is strongly associated with AF recurrence, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality. It presents risk factors with atrial heart disease. The latter refers to all structural, electrical, and mechanical alterations of the atrium that create a substrate conducive to AF. Multiparametric cardiac MRI is currently the most comprehensive test for assessing atrial heart disease, thanks to its structural and functional analysis (atrial fibrosis, atrial strain, intracavitary 4D flow). However, to date, no prospective study has evaluated these parameters as predictors of AF recurrence after CAP. At the same time, an implantable Holter monitor will be used to enable detailed and continuous detection of recurrence episodes, overcoming the limitations of conventional monitoring strategies. By combining multiparametric imaging, histological analysis, and continuous monitoring for the first time, this study proposes a paradigm shift in the assessment of postoperative AF: moving from a descriptive and ad hoc approach to a mechanistic, integrative, and predictive approach.
NCT05062239
Statins have rapid and significant actions that have potentially important (but not yet proven) implications for postoperative atrial fibrillation and cardiac protection in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The focus of this study is, therefore, on patients having surgical aortic valve replacement (with aortotomy) and the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Our aims are: to investigate the risk of POAF, infection or other complications after SAVR in continuous versus preoperative discontinuous treatment with statins. The study is a single centre randomized controlled trial with continuance treatment with statin vs. discontinuance (7 to 14 days prior surgery until the 30th post-operative day included), on patients undergoing elective solitary SAVR with bioprosthesis with prior usage of statins the last 3 months and of at least 7 days. This randomized studies will address 2 separate hypotheses in patients undergoing open heart operation with solitary aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthetic valve that 1. Discontinuation of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors 7 to 14 days preoperative until 30 days postoperative of AVR in patients with prior use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is not associated with increased early (\<30 days) risk of POAF. 2. Discontinuation of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors 7 to 14 days preoperative until 30 days postoperative of AVR in patients with prior use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is not associated with increased early (\<30 days) and intermediate (\<1 year) risk of mortality, MI, stroke and rehospitalisation.

The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery is around 30%. POAF increases the risk of developing permanent atrial fibrillation and raises the risk of cardiac decompensation, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and death. While the role of the left atrium (LAF) in the pathophysiology of POAF is now well-established, the part of the right atrium (RA) remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest a correlation between RA function and POAF. RA function can be assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with dedicated software for measuring the RA strain (RAS). RA function is thus divided into three phases: reservoir (RASr), conduit, and contraction. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a significant alteration in RAS predicts POAF in various clinical contexts. Therefore, it is essential to investigate whether alterations in RA function assessed by 2D-STE (RAS) are associated with an increased occurrence of FAPO after cardiac surgery. It is essential to investigate whether alterations in RA function assessed by 2D-STE (RAS) are associated with an increased occurrence of FAPO after cardiac surgery.
NCT05730413
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is compare between two different dose regimens of bisoprolol (beta-blocker) in CABG patients in terms of efficacy and safety.
NCT02132767
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic strategies of rate control versus rhythm control in cardiac surgery patients who develop in-hospital postoperative atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF). In patients who develop AF during hospitalization after cardiac surgery, the hypothesis is that a strategy of rhythm control will reduce days in hospital within 60 days of the occurrence of AF compared to a strategy of rate control.
NCT03646773
Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is commonplace after cardiothoracic surgery. A rate control strategy by using short-acting beta blockers is recommended as a first-line therapy in patients without hemodynamic instability. Microcirculatory effects of POAF and esmolol have not been yet investigated. The investigators made the hypothesis that POAF without hemodynamic instability would induce microvascular dysfunction which could be reversed by intravenous esmolol.
