C-reactive protein elevation in patients with atrial arrhythmias: inflammatory mechanisms and persistence of atrial fibrillation
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 …
