Objective: Available evidence suggests that inflammation may be associated with atrial
fibrillation (AF). This prospective and observational study aimed to assess whether plasma …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is increased in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and it might
predict the lack of sinus rhythm maintenance in the long term follow-up. Scarce data have …

Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) have a high frequency of concomitant coronary
heart disease and congestive heart failure. The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiac …

Background Patients with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke and mortality. It is
not clear if inflammatory biomarkers are associated with stroke and mortality in patients with …

Results: Patients with AF were shown to have signif-icantly higher plasma levels of hs-CRP
compared to those in sinus rhythm and controls (p< 0.001). In general, patients with AF were …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically encountered arrhythmia affecting 0.4% of
the general population. Its prevalence increases with age, affecting more than 6% of people …

Aims Inflammatory state is considered a risk factor of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence. The
aim of this study was a prospective evaluation of the inflammation parameters in patients …

There are limited data on the influence of genetic polymorphisms in atrial fibrillation (AF)
stroke risk. We hypothesized that a functional haemostatic polymorphism, that is, the factor …
