Preventative effects of bisoprolol transdermal patches on postoperative atrial fibrillation in high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: A subanalysis of the MAMACARI study

CONCLUSIONS: Low dose of a bisoprolol patch in the perioperative period was effective for prevention of POAF after non-cardiac surgery in high-risk patients, while long surgery time was an independent risk factor for POAF. It is expected that low dose of a bisoprolol patch can prevent POAF without causing hypotension.PMID:34083113 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.05.001
