Renal Dysfunction and Arrhythmia Association in Patients Receiving Milrinone After Cardiac Surgery.
The altered pharmacokinetics of milrinone in renal impairment could result in an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. This study aimed to determine if there is an association between new-onset arrhythmias and renal impairment after cardiac surgery following milrinone administration. ⋯ There was no association between new arrhythmias, milrinone, and renal impairment in patients postcardiac surgery.
