Brief Summary  

                                                        

  Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia (JET) in postoperative period is a serious arrhythmia, which often leads to hemodynamic instability, decreased cardiac output, resulting in serious morbidity and mortality. Hence it is important in achieving rapid control of JET.  None of the drugs have been shown to be consistently effective in controlling this arrhythmia. Amiodarone has fared well in this respect, over other drugs, but adverse effects have been commonly reported with its usage. Recently there are case reports stating that Ivabradine is safe and effective in both congenital and postoperative JET, with a better dosing and adverse effect profile. There has not been any prospective study to demonstrate the same. So we planned this prospective Randomised control trial comparing the efficacy of both these drugs in the management of postoperative JET
