Beta Blockers and Amiodarone in Patients Undergoing CABG
COR LOE
Recommendations
2a B-R 1. In patients undergoing CABG, who do not have a
contraindication to beta blockers, the administration of
beta blockers before surgery can be beneficial to reduce the
incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
2a B-R 2. In patients undergoing CABG, preoperative amiodarone
is reasonable to reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial
fibrillation.
2b B-NR 3. In patients undergoing CABG, who do not have a
contraindication to beta blockers, preoperative use of beta
blockers may be effective in reducing in-hospital and 30-day
mortality rates.
2b B-NR 4. In patients undergoing CABG, the role of preoperative beta
blockers for the prevention of acute postoperative myocardial
ischemia, stroke, AKI, or ventricular arrhythmia is uncertain.
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients After PCI
COR LOE
Recommendation
2a A 1. In selected patients undergoing PCI, shorter-duration DAPT
(1–3 months) is reasonable, with subsequent transition to
P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy to reduce the risk of bleeding
events.
