Af Recurrence

: Several studies have indicated an association between inflammation and the recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation (AF), especially after ablation, which is a therapeutic option leading to local inflammation. On the other hand, each AF can lead to another AF, as a general rule. Thus, preventing recurrences of AF is extremely important for patient outcomes. In this paper, we attempted to review the effect of medicinal agents with anti-inflammatory properties on the prevention of AF recurrence. There are several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses on the prevention of AF recurrence using agents with anti-inflammatory properties, which include steroids, colchicine, statins, and n-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA). Clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs in preventing the recurrence of AF led to inconsistent results for corticosteroids, statins and n-3 FAs. These results may be related to the fact that inflammation is not the only factor responsible for triggering recurrences of AF. For example, the presence of structural, mechanical and electrical remodeling could potentially be the most important factors that trigger recurrences of AF but these factors have not been addressed in most of the reported studies. Therefore, future clinical trials are needed to compare the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs in AF patients with, or without other factors. For colchicine, a potent anti-inflammatory drug, there are limited studies. However, all the studies investigating colchicine in the context of AF were consistent and promising, especially when colchicine was used on a short-term basis following ablation in patients with paroxysmal AF. Therefore, colchicine could be a promising candidate for further clinical studies involving recurrent AF.

Background: Two previous studies evaluating nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use following cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) demonstrated conflicting evidence regarding their ability to reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Moreover, neither study examined negative cardiovascular outcomes such as stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). Since a recent study evaluating paracoxib/valdecoxib following CTS demonstrated an increased risk of cardiovascular events, we sought to evaluate whether NSAIDs could reduce the incidence of POAF without increasing patients’ risk of stroke or MI. Methods: Patients (n=555) undergoing CTS from the randomized, controlled Atrial Fibrillation Suppression Trials (AFISTs) I, II and III were evaluated in this nested study. Demographic, surgical and medication use characteristics were prospectively collected as part of the AFIST trials. Endpoints included POAF, stroke, MI and the need for red blood cell transfusion. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The population was 67.8 ± 8.6 years old, 77.1% male, 14.6% underwent valve surgery, 6.1% had prior AF, 12.6% had heart failure and 84.0% and 44.1% received postoperative beta-blockade and prophylactic amiodarone. In total, 127 (22.9%) patients received a NSAID postoperatively. NSAID use was associated with reductions in the odds of POAF and the need for RBC transfusions. (Table ) No elevation in the odds of developing stroke or MI was observed. Conclusions: NSAIDs decreased the odds of developing POAF and the need for RBC transfusions without significantly increasing MI or stroke. Table.
