Increased Serum Uric Acid Levels Are Correlated with Decreased Left Atrial Appendage Peak Flow Velocity in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the relationship between serum uric acid levels and left atrial appendage (LAA) peak flow velocity, an indicator of the mechanical functions of the LAA, and atrial fibrillation (AF). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Transesophageal echocardiography was performed before cardioversion in 153 patients with AF. The patients were categorized into 2 groups based on their LAA blood...
متن کاملHigh-normal Glucose Levels in Non-diabetic and Pre-diabetic Men Are Associated with Decreased Testosterone Levels
BACKGROUND Testosterone levels are decreased in diabetic patients and recent studies have suggested that high-normal fasting glucose is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To further elucidate the relationship between plasma glucose and testosterone, we investigated the association between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and endogenous sex hormones (serum total testosterone, sex hormone bind...
متن کاملElevated plasma levels of Th17-related cytokines are associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation
We performed a matched case-control study using a propensity score matching, to assess the association of Th17-related cytokines, including interleukin (IL) 17A (IL-17A), IL-17F, IL-21, IL-22 and IL-6, along with interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-10, IL-9, and IL-4, with the risk of AF. A total of 336 patients with AF were matched 1:1 with patients without AF. Plasma levels of cytokines were measured us...
متن کاملThe Expression Levels of Plasma micoRNAs in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miRNA) has been found in human blood. It has been increasingly suggested that miRNAs may serve as biomarkers for diseases. We examined the potential of circulating miRNA to serve as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS During the discovery stage of this project, we used massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) to carry out an in-dep...
متن کاملSerum levels of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 are associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Recent evidence indicates that nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species have a pivotal role in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present study aimed to investigate the potential association between serum levels of NOX4, as well as inflammatory biomarkers and AF. In total, 108 patients with AF (71 with paroxysmal AF and 37 with pers...
