Oxidative stress markers are associated with persistent atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with myocardial oxidative stress, and antioxidant agents have demonstrated antiarrhythmic benefit in humans. We compared serum markers of oxidation and associated inflammation in individuals with or without AF. METHODS Serum markers of oxidative stress and inflammation were compared in a cross-sectional, case-control design study of 40 m...
متن کاملStatins, inflammation, oxidative stress, and atrial fibrillation.
In this issue of the Journal, Negi et al.1 reported their study investigating whether or not high-dose atorvastatin could reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after electrical cardioversion (EC) by modifying systemic oxidative stress and inflammation. They concluded that while high-dose atorvastatin could reduce selective markers of inflammation, it did not affect systemic oxidative stres...
متن کاملMitochondrial oxidative stress promotes atrial fibrillation
Oxidative stress has been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Indeed, the prevalence of AF increases with age as does oxidative stress. However, the mechanisms linking redox state to AF are not well understood. In this study we identify a link between oxidative stress and aberrant intracellular Ca(2+) release via the type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) that pr...
متن کاملPost-Operative Atrial Fibrillation and Oxidative Stress
ver the last decade there has been substantial progress in nderstanding the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), rimarily due to the recognition of the role of the pulmonary eins and their antral regions in the initiation and perpetation of AF (1,2). Much work has focused on the electrohysiological (3,4), anatomical, and histological properties f the pulmonary veins (5); how they initiate ...
متن کاملDiscordant Relationships between Systemic Inflammatory Markers and Burden of Oxidative Stress in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) by amplifying the inflammatory cascade, wherein augmented inflammation facilitates the atrial electrical remodeling process. Few studies have investigated the possible link between systemic inflammation and OS in AF. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 220 consecutive patient...
