    Objective To evaluate efficacy of amiodarone in the prevention of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods CBM (from January 1978 to August 2017), CNKI (from January 1987 to August 2017), VIP (from January 1989 to August 2017), Wanfang (from January 1998 to August 2017) and PubMed (from January 1989 to August 2017) databases were searched. The articles were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality of articles was assessed by improved Jadad scale. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.

There were 16 articles with high quality and 3 articles with low quality by improved Jadad scale. Compared with the placebo, amiodarone had a significant effect on reducing the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting (RR=0.37, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.50, P<0.000 01) and different administration models and time of amiodarone had effect on the atrial fibrillation after aterial bypass grafting (P<0.05).
