Thirty-two CHD patients (mean age 53+2,7 years) with paroxysmal AF and cardioversion-restored sinus rhythm were randomized into two groups. Group I (n=12) included patients receiving standard antiarrhythmic therapy and simvastatin. Group II - only standard therapy. Examination methods included: physical examination; standard 12-lead ECG with QT interval, QT dispersion (QTd), corrected QT (QTc), and QTc dispersion measurement; ECG-monitoring with assessment of heart rate (HR), incidence and features of extrasys toles, and number of ischemic ST depression episodes. laboratory tests included lipid profile and hepatic transaminase levels assessment. Results. During the follow-up period, recurrent AF incidence was significantly lower (p |
