Current Use of Prophylactic Strategies for Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: A Survey of Canadian Cardiac Surgeons

Despite level 1 evidence, the use of β-blockers, amiodarone, and corticosteroids for prophylaxis of atrial fibrillation among Canadian surgeons remains less than expected. The results of this survey support the need for further clinical trials with robust and clinically relevant outcomes that may further influence surgeons to adopt this practice.
