Prior statin use and the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia in acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: The benefit of prior statin use to reduce the incidence of arrhythmia in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still a matter of debate. Statins have multiple pleiotropic effects, which may reduce the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The benefit of prior statin use to reduce the incidence of arrhythmia in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still a matter of debate. Statins have multiple pleiotropic effects, which may reduce the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate prior statin use and the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia in ACS. METHODS: This systematic review was conducted as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). We performed a literature search through Pubmed, Proquest, EBSCOhost, and Clinicaltrial.gov. A random-effect model was used due to moderate heterogeneity. Quality assessment was performed using Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Sensitivity analysis was performed by using leave one or two out method. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022336402. RESULTS: Nine eligible studies consisting of 86,795 patients were included. A total of 22,130 (25.5%) patients were in statin use before the index ACS event. The prevalence of old myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic renal failure and concomitant treatment with aspirin, clopidogrel, and beta blocker was higher in the prior statin group compared to no previous statin. Overall, prior statin use was associated with a significantly lower incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia during ACS compared to no previous statin (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.49–0.72; P < 0.00001; I(2) = 54%, P-heterogeneity = 0.03). In subgroup analysis, previous statin use reduced the incidence of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.43–0.95; P = 0.03; I(2) = 73%, P-heterogeneity = 0.01) and ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.49–0.65; P < 0.00001; I(2) = 8%, P-heterogeneity = 0.35). CONCLUSIONS: Based on aggregate patient data, prior statin use may reduce the incidence of in-hospital arrhythmia during ACS, particularly atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
