Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To establish whether pre-operative administration of spironolactone leads to a reduction in POAF incidence occurring from randomization and within 5 days after surgery, compared with placebo, in patients referred for elective CABG ± AVR without heart failure;Secondary Objective: To evaluate whether perioperative administration of spironolactone affects: -Post-operative AF occurring from cardiac surgery and within 5 days after surgery, - Perioperative myocardial injury within 2 days after surgery (assessed by serial Troponin measurements at day 0 immediately after surgery, day 1 and 2 after surgery) - Major cardiovascular events and death (all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure) occurring within 30 days of surgery, - Hospital and intensive care unit stay, - Need for readmission, - Left ventricular ejection fraction at discharge (from both ICU and hospital), - Ventricular arrhythmia occurring from cardiac surgery and within 5 days after surgery, - Blood pressure, serum potassium levels and renal function within 30 days of surgery. To evaluate whether the Aldoscore and the Aldoscore II could predict POAF occurrence, cardiovascular complications and mortality occurring within 30 days of surgery ;Primary end point(s): The primary judgment criteria is the occurrence of POAF occurring from randomization and within 5 days after surgery, assess, in a standardized manner, by continuous ECG monitoring (during the ICU stay) or Holter monitoring (during the conventional hospitalization stay).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 5 days after cardiac surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): *The secondary judgment criteria related to spironolactone impact are: -Post-operative AF occurrence from cardiac surgery and within 5 days after CABG surgery (+/- AVR), -Evaluation of perioperative myocardial injury within 2 days after surgery, as assessed by serial measurements of the cardiac troponin I concentration at day 0 immediately after surgery, day 1 and 2 after surgery, -Occurrence of major cardiovascular events and death (death from any cause, stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction) occurring within 30 days after surgery, -Duration of ICU and hospital stay, -Need for readmission, -Evaluation of the left ventricular ejection fraction at discharge (from both ICU and hospital), -Ventricular arrhythmia occurring from cardiac surgery and within 5 days after surgery, assess, in a standardized manner, by continuous ECG monitoring (during the ICU stay) or Holter monitoring (during the conventional hospitalization stay), -Occurrence of low blood pressure, changes in serum potassium and acute kidney injury within 30 days after surgery. *Ability of the Aldoscore and the Aldoscore II to predict POAF and cardiovascular complications and mortality: Blood peripheral collection tubes will be collect during the anaesthesiologist outpatient visit with the patients resting quietly in a semi-recumbent position at least 10 min. Aldosterone levels will be centrally measured in the biochemistry department of the Caen University Hospital. Then, Aldoscore and Aldoscore II will be calculated as follows -8.3217 + 0.0842 x Age + 0.00729 x Aldosterone level. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days after cardiac surgery
