Impact of statin treatment on postoperative atrial fibrillation in surgical aortic valve replacement
Statin treatment was not associated with reduced risk of POAF following SAVR. POAF was associated with a significant risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation, but not mortality after adjusting for confounders. High cumulative statin doses were significantly associated with a reduced all-cause mortality.
