milrinone and Atrial Fibrillation

milrinone has been researched along with Atrial Fibrillation in 5 studies

Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

Hypotension

Percentage of patients with hypotension defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg and/or prolonged requirement for vasopressor use. (NCT00141778)

Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation

The primary endpoint of the study was the percentage of patients with electrocardiographically confirmed AF of at least 10 secs duration at any time following the end of surgery until hospital discharge, an average from 5.7 days in the ramipril group to 6.8 days in the placebo group. Patients were monitored continuously on telemetry throughout the postoperative period until discharge. Electrocardiograms were obtained for any rhythm changes detected on telemetry monitoring, and in addition, electrocardiograms were performed preoperatively, at admission to the intensive care unit, and daily starting on postoperative day 1. All electrocardiograms and rhythm strips were reviewed in a blinded fashion by a single cardiac electrophysiologist. (NCT00141778)
Timeframe: Measured from admission to the ICU until discharge from hospital
