Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Current clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.PMID:36136141 | DOI:10.1007/s00228-022-03383-2
