Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter
Atrial fibrillation and flutter are heart rhythm disorders that cause the heart to beat irregularly and often rapidly, which can lead to complications like stroke and heart failure.
We are investigating whether taking atorvastatin before surgery helps reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. We also want to see how stopping statins affects complications after surgery.
