The aim of the present systematic review is to present an overview of the evidence linking
atrial fibrillation (AF), inflammation and oxidative stress, with emphasis on the potential of …

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

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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurring after cardiac surgery, post-operative AF (POAF),
is a serious and common complication of this treatment. POAF may be life-threatening and …

Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) develops in the early postoperative period in each third
patient undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CBPS). Multifactorial pathogenesis of …

Background Observational studies have suggested that statins might reduce postoperative
atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, a number of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Postoperative occurrence of AF has been associated with less favourable
outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and may result in increased postoperative …
