BACKGROUND: There is an apparent link between thrombogenesis and inflammation. We
hypothesized that systemic inflammation [as indicated by C-reactive protein (CRP)] would be …

BACKGROUND: The association between inflammatory status and thrombosis in patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. We studied the correlation between inflammation and …

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated to a high risk of systemic embolism. The
mechanisms that contribute to thrombogenesis in these patients are still poorly understood …

Background Inflammation has been implicated in the progressive exacerbation of valvular
atrial fibrillation (VAF) and thrombogenesis. This study aimed to analyze the association of …

Objectives: We sought to test the hypothesis that there is a relationship between
inflammation and the prothrombotic state in atrial fibrillation (AF). Background: Atrial …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) may persist due to structural changes in the atria that are
promoted by inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality from stroke due to
thromboembolism from the fibrillating left atrium, including its appendage. We hypothesized …

The relation between inflammation and prothrombotic state in atrial fibrillation (AF) is well
recognized. This suggests a potential role for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a …

Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. C-
reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, predicts the risk of coronary …

It has been poorly understood whether inflammation may contribute to atrial structural
remodeling and increase the propensity for atrial fibrillation (AF) to persist. We investigated …
