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

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

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 sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. The
understanding of the pathophysiology of AF has changed during the last several decades …

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 …

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 …

Statins are effective for reducing cardiovascular disease in patients at risk or with
cardiovascular disease. The benefit of statin therapy on adverse cardiovascular outcomes in …

Objective To examine whether statins can reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation. Design Meta-
analysis of published and unpublished results from larger scale statin trials, with comparison …

Background Previous meta-analyses suggest that pre-procedural use of statin therapy may
reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) following invasive cardiac interventions (coronary artery by …
