Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the antiarrhythmic effect of Olevia as add-on to standard therapy in patients undergoing heart valve surgery.;Secondary Objective: ND;Primary end point(s): Reduction in the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients undergone surgical operation for valve disease and treated with Olevia 1000 mg per os three times daily in addition to standard therapy for 30 days before cardiac surgery. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 35 DAYS | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): ¿ Safety of experimental drug ¿ Evaluation of reduction of laboratory inflammatory markers (GB, VES,PCR) ¿ Evaluation of the effect of Olevia in post-operative atrial and ventricular remodeling in patients that at the time of randomization have an echocardiogram performed until six months before the date of signing informed consent ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 35 DAYS | — |
