Does statin therapy reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients at risk?
Statin therapy may serve as an important adjunctive strategy for preventing new-onset and postoperative atrial fibrillation, though evidence is lacking for its use prior to electrical cardioversion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports statin consideration for new-onset and postoperative AF prevention; extends evidence base while leaving pre-cardioversion use unresolved.
Sánchez-Quiñones et al. (2008) studied this question.
