Associations between preoperative P-wave characteristics, C-reactive protein levels, and atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication of cardiac surgery which may cause remarkable morbidity and complications. Identifying predicting factors of this arrhythmia can help prophylactic therapy. The present study is designed to investigate the hypothesis that HsCRP level and P-wave characteristics are associated with the incidence of post-operative AF. Methods: ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Inflammation on Atrial Fibrillation Occurrence by Measuring Highly Sensitive C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmias that cardiologists and internists encounter. The goal of this article is to clarify an overview of the evidence linking inflammation to AF existence, which may highlight the effect of some pharmacological agents that have genuine potential to reduce the clinical burden of AF by modulating inflammatory pathways. Mat...
متن کاملC-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, predicts cardiovascular events and stroke, a common sequela of AF. We hypothesized that CRP is elevated in patients with atrial arrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a case-control study design, CRP in 131 patie...

متن کاملSerum Interleukin-6 and Highly Sensitive C-Reactive Protein as Inflammatory Biomarkers in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased C-reactive protein level and other acute phase reactant (fibrinogen level, interleukin 2, 6, 8, and others), which raise the question of the role of inflammation in this condition? Aim of the Work: To asses the relation between atrial fibrillation and serum inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6 & Hs CRP). Study Design: The study included th...
