Abstract
Amiodarone prophylaxis reduced the prevalence and duration of POAF. Baseline risk for POAF was a major determinant of the overall cost-effectiveness of AMP. The greatest cost savings with AMP was seen in patients at an elevated risk for POAF. These findings suggest the need for risk stratification when prescribing AMP.
