BACKGROUND: Although statins decrease the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with atherosclerotic heart disease, their potential antiarrhythmic effects in heart failure remain undefined.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Of 80 heart failure patients enrolled, 40 were randomized to receive atorvastatin (statin group); the remaining 40 served as controls. At baseline and after 3 months, we measured heart rate variability (HRV), QT variability (QTV), and QTc interval using interactive high-resolution electrocardiogram analysis. The 2 groups did not differ in baseline HRV standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN) (RR): 24.6 +/- 2.8 ms in statin group versus 24.8 +/- 3.1 ms in controls, P = .72; square root of the mean of squared differences between successive intervals (rMSSD) (RR): 21.2 +/- 2.7 ms versus 21.7 +/- 2.9 ms, P = .43), QTV SDNN (QT): 6.4 +/- 1.5 ms versus 6.4+/-1.7, P = .96; rMSSD QT): 9.0 +/- 2.4 ms versus 8.7 +/- 2.9 ms, P = .65, and QTc interval 450 +/- 30 ms versus 446 +/- 27 ms, P = .59. At 3 months, the statin group displayed higher HRV SDNN RR): 27.2 +/- 4.9 ms versus 24.4 +/- 2.8 ms in controls, P = .003; rMSSD RR: 24.7 +/- 4.2 ms versus 21.3 +/- 5.6 ms, P = .004, lower QTV SDNN (QT): 5.1 +/- 1.9 ms versus 6.5 +/- 2.1, P = .004; rMSSD (QT): 6.6 +/- 2.8 ms versus 8.8 +/- 3.1 ms, P = .002, and shorter QTc interval 437 +/- 29 ms versus 450 +/- 25 ms, P = .03 than the control group.
CONCLUSIONS: Atorvastatin increases HRV, decreases QTV, and shortens QTc interval, and may thereby reduce the risk of arrhythmias in patients with advanced heart failure.
