Although atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines indicate that pharmacologic blockade of the renin-angiotensin system may be considered for primary AF prevention in hypertensive patients, previous studies have yielded conflicting results. We sought to determine whether randomization to lisinopril reduces incident AF or atrial flutter (AFL) compared to chlorthalidone in a large clinical trial cohort with extended post-trial surveillance. We performed a secondary analysis of the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT), a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial that enrolled hypertensive individuals ≥ 55 years of age with at least one other cardiovascular risk factor. Participants were randomly assigned to receive amlodipine, lisinopril, or chlorthalidone. Individuals with elevated fasting LDL-C levels were also randomized to pravastatin versus usual care. The primary outcome was the development of either AF or AFL as diagnosed by serial study ECGs or by Medicare claims data. Among 14,837 participants without prevalent AF or AFL, 2,514 developed AF/AFL during a mean 7.5 ± 3.2 years of follow up. Compared to chlorthalidone, randomization to either lisinopril (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.15, p = 0.46) or amlodipine (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.03, p = 0.16) was not associated with a significant reduction in incident AF/AFL. Compared to chlorthalidone, treatment with lisinopril is not associated with a meaningful reduction in incident AF or AFL among older adults with a history of hypertension.
