Effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker on one-year outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation: insights from a multicenter registry study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) therapy on the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods

A total of 1, 991 AF patients from the AF registry were divided into two groups according to whether they were treated with ACEI/ARB at recruitment. Baseline characteristics were carefully collected and analyzed. Logistic regression was utilized to identify the predictors of ACEI/ARB therapy. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, while the secondary endpoints included cardiovascular mortality, stroke and major adverse events (MAEs) during the one-year follow-up period. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression were performed to identify the association between ACEI/ARB t
