Rapid heart rhythms originating from the upper heart chambers (atrial tachyarrhythmias) are
very common after open-heart surgery. The hypothesis of the PAPABEAR study is that a brief
(13 day) peri-operative course of oral amiodarone therapy would be effective and safe for the
prevention of these post-operative atrial tachyarrhythmias.
