Perioperative statin therapy in cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
BACKGROUND Several studies suggest beneficial effects of perioperative statin therapy on postoperative outcome after cardiac surgery. However, recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) show potential detrimental effects. The objective of this systematic review is to examine the association between perioperative statin therapy and clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS Electro...

BACKGROUND The optimal management of atrial fibrillation remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to examine the safety and the efficacy of catheter ablation (CA) when compared with antiarrhythmic drug therapy both as first- and second-line therapy for the maintenance of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS Several databases were search...
متن کاملLong-term stroke rates after catheter ablation or antiarrhythmic drug therapy for atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis of randomized trials
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and is associated with increased risk of death. Randomized studies suggest improved quality of life for patients with AF after successful catheter ablation compared to antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The value of ablation in long-term risk of ischemic stroke, however, has not been assessed. We conducted a meta-an...
متن کاملEffect of preoperative statin therapy on postoperative atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the randomized trial by Ji et al1 of preoperative atorvastatin therapy to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Their results showed that patients undergoing preoperative administration of oral atorvastatin had a lower incidence of postoperative AF vs preoperative administration of oral placebo (14% vs 34%...
متن کاملThe role of statin therapy in the prevention of atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
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 all-cause mortality in both men and women. However, there are limited treatment options for AF. Statins are hypothesized to have a benefit against arrhythmias in addition to well-established secondary prevention benefit for a...
