Microvascular Effects of Intravenous Esmolol During Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation

NCT03646773 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
