Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficiency of postoperative statin treatment for preventing new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting: A prospective randomized study.
Recent studies have demonstrated that preoperative statin therapy reduces the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of statin therapy started in the early postoperative period for the prevention from new-onset AF after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Postoperative statin therapy seems to reduce new-onset AF after isolated CABG in our study.
