In recent medical literature, this approach is referred to as upstream treatment. The results of experiments and clinical studies show that the use of these drugs may be useful for AF primary prevention in certain categories of patients. Nevertheless, there are currently no sufficient evidences to justify these recommendations and apply them to a wider range of patients with AF risk factors. Thus, it is reasonable to continue studies on both primary and secondary AF prevention.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Ингибиторы ренин-ангиотензин-альдостероновой системы, статины, и, возможно, ω-3 полиненасыщенные жирные кислоты могут оказывать влияние на частоту развития фибрилляции предсердий (ФП), т.е. применяться для её профилактики, что в современной литературе обозначается термином «терапия вверх по течению» (upstream treatment). Приведены данные результатов экспериментов и клинических исследований, которые показывают , что применение данных препаратов может быть полезно для первичной профилактики ФП у отдельных категорий пациентов. Тем не менее, достаточных доказательств, чтобы оправдать данные рекомендации и применить их к более широкому кругу пациентов с факторами риска ФП, в настоящее время нет. Таким образом, обосновано продолжение изучения как первичной, так и вторичной профилактики ФП.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>профилактика</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>prevention</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Benjamin E.J., Levy D., Vaziri S.M. et al.
