Does statin therapy prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Odds Ratio: 0.71 (95% CI 0.61–0.82)
p-value: p=<0.0001
Preoperative statin therapy is an effective strategy for preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, likely due to its pleiotropic anti-inflammatory properties.

Bockeria et al. (2014) conducted a review in Postoperative atrial fibrillation. Statins vs. Placebo or standard care was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.61-0.82, p=<0.0001). Preoperative statin therapy reduced the relative risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation by 31% (OR 0.71) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
