Oral amiodarone and atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: The example of human self-domestication may illustrate that scientific ideas, especially when dealing with human biology, are prone to misuse, particularly if "is" is confused with "ought", if moral principles are deduced from biological facts.

TL;DR: Food consumption and diet were not principally related to knowledge but were constrained by an ever-present scarcity of resources and the need to prioritize other daily living expenses perceived as being more important than diet.

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of intravenous amiodarone in patients with refractory, recurrent hemodynamically destabilizing ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation by determining a dose response among three regimens.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore if an interaction with β-blocker treatment plays a role in the decrease of cardiac arrhythmic deaths with amiodarone in patients recovered from an acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Univariate analysis indicated that older age, 1- or 2-vessel coronary artery disease, long bypass and aorta cross-clamp time were predictive variables for the occurrence of SVTs and Multivariate analysis showed that male sex, older age and male sex were independent risk factors for increased occurrence of postoperative SVT.

TL;DR: Prophylactic oral amiodarone did not statistically alter the incidence or duration of atrial fibrillation after CABG, although favorable trends were noted.
