Brief Summary
This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label trial of subjects who develop atrial fibrillation after non-emergent cardiac surgery at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center (UKCMC). Patients will be randomized to receive either a conventional amiodarone dosing regimen (CDR) or a repeated amiodarone bolus dosing regimen (RBDR).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Normal Sinus Rhythm -24 HRS
Percentage of patients who develop stable POAF after non-emergent cardiac surgery, the percentage of patients who have converted to NSR at 24-hours after receiving a repeated amiodarone bolus and loading dose regimen to the percentage of patients who have converted to NSR after a conventional amiodarone IV loading dose regimen.
24-hours after receiving amiodarone bolus
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Total Target Heart Rate Time
24-hours after receiving amiodarone bolus
Time to Target Heart Rate
24-hours after receiving amiodarone bolus
Normal Sinus Rhythm -Hospital Index
duration of ICU and hospital visit, up to 20 days
Recurrent AF
duration of ICU and hospital visit, up to 20 days
Study Arms (2)
Conventional amiodarone dosing regimen (CDR)
ACTIVE COMPARATORInitial amiodarone bolus of 150 mg IV over 10 minutes then a 24-hour amiodarone loading infusion (1 mg/min for 6 hours followed by 0.5 mg/min for 18 hours), followed by enteral (400 mg amiodarone oral or per tube three times daily or 2 times daily if the patient has gastrointestinal intolerance when taking the drug three times daily) or intravenous amiodarone (0.5 mg/min continuous infusion) to complete an 8-gm total amiodarone load. Maintenance amiodarone (200 mg amiodarone oral or per tube once daily) at discretion of attending physician.
Repeated amiodarone bolus dosing regimen (RBDR)
ACTIVE COMPARATORInitial amiodarone bolus of 150 mg IV over 10 minutes, then 1.0 mg/min IV amiodarone infusion for 6 hours, then a 0.5 mg/min IV amiodarone infusion for 18 hours, followed by enteral (400 mg amiodarone oral or per tube three times daily or 2 times daily if the patient has gastrointestinal intolerance when taking the drug three times daily) or intravenous amiodarone (0.5 mg/min continuous infusion) to complete an 8-gm total amiodarone load. In addition, patients in the RBDR will receive an additional 150 mg IV amiodarone bolus whenever the patient develops tachycardia (Heart Rate (HR) = 110 beats per minute) lasting more than 10 minutes. This bolus may be repeated up to a total of 5 times (6 total boluses) over the first 24 hours. Maintenance amiodarone (200 mg amiodarone oral or per tube once daily) at discretion of attending physician.
Interventions
Assess the effectiveness of different dosing strategies of amiodarone.
