Clinical Trial Summary

After heart surgery, about 30% of patients suffer from atrial fibrillation. Patients are randomized into two groups receiving either potentized Strychnos Nux vomica or placebo under double blind conditions. Postoperatively, ECGs are done to monitor cardiac rhythm.

Description:

Preoperatively, patients receive potentized Nux vomica or placebo sublingually. Then, patients are observed regarding atrial fibrillation postsurgical. The difference between the group of patients with and without nux vomica is recorded.
