Objective: Whether statins prevent atrial fibrillation remains unclear. In particular, the data on
the elderly are limited. Thus we investigated the association between statin use and the risk …

Background Statin has potential protective effects against atrial fibrillation. Clinically, there is
a need to predict the atrial fibrillation protective effects in statin-treated patients. The purpose …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia and is associated with increased
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [1]. Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials has …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cognitive decline and may contribute to
an increased risk of dementia. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular
disease, and hence, statin therapy is indicated in majority of AF patients. Methods and …

Background: Some clinical and experimental studies have shown the use of statins could
protect against AF, but there are not adequate data at present. Objectives: We performed a …

Background Atherosclerotic disease is an important contributor to adverse outcomes in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). There is limited recognition of the association between …

The pleiotropic effects of statins have been suggested to prevent atrial fibrillation onset. We
conducted a population-based case–control study using medical databases from Northern …

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