Objective: To investigate the relationship between statin therapy and the development of
new-onset, recurrent, and postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). Research design and …

BACKGROUND: Inflammation and oxidative stress have been associated with AF. On the
other hand, accumulating evidence suggests that statins may have antiarrhythmic effects …

Objectives: To improve the evaluation of the possible antiarrhythmic effect of statins, we
performed a meta-analysis of randomized trials with statins on the end point of incidence or …

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT• Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most
common clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, and AF is associated with relatively higher …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common adult rhythm disorder, and it is associated with a
substantial rate of morbidity and economic burden. There is an increasing body of literature …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common postoperative arrhythmia in patients who undergo
cardiac surgery. We sought to determine whether the administration of statins reduces the …

Background Recent studies have demonstrated that statins may possess antiarrhythmic
properties in addition to their lipid‐lowering effects. Methods Studies which reported the …

The use of statins was significantly associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation in
patients with sinus rhythm. The highest benefit was seen for the prevention of postoperative …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. The
understanding of the pathophysiology of AF has changed during the last several decades …

BACKGROUND: Statins have important pleiotropic effects and have been shown to reduce
vascular inflammation and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery. The …
