Study aim
-
Determination of the effects of atorvastatin in comparison with rosuvastatin in preventing AF rhythm in patients undergoing cardiovascular bypass surgery
-
Design
-
A randomized clinical trial study of 200 individuals randomly divided into two groups of 100, two arm parallel group with blinded postoperative care and outcome assessment
-
Settings and conduct
-
200 individuals who are candidates for Elective CABG in ShahidMadani Hospital in Tabriz are divided into 2 groups of 100.For one group atorvastatin 40 mg daily and for the other group rosuvastatin 20 mg daily from one week before CABG will be administrated,they will being under holter monitoring for 72 hours postoperatively.
