C-reactive protein for prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation
Abstract
BackgroundInflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF), but data about the relationship between subclinical inflammation and recurrence of AF after catheter ablation remains poorly studied. We aimed to assess whether plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with long-term AF recurrence following catheter ablation.MethodsPrior to the intervention, plasma CRP concentrations …
