Effects of peri-operative statin treatment on atrial electrical properties, post-operative atrial fibrillation and in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery

Abstract:

Surgical myocardial revascularization remains the standard of care for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease. A growing body of evidence indicates that systemic inflammation and myocardial oxidative stress are associated with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and low cardiac output syndrome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Statins have been shown to exert rapid anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects by inhibiting myocardial NOX2 oxidase...
