Previous use of statins and atrial electrical remodeling in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results show lower PWD values in cryptogenic stroke patients previously treated with statins. These findings provide support to the hypothesis that statins may play a role in modulating atrial electrophysiological and structural properties, preventing the occurrence of a slowed and heterogeneous atrial conduction and finally, reducing the occurrence of AF.
