Novel fibro-inflammation markers in assessing left atrial remodeling in non-valvular atrial fibrillation

Abstract

Background: Structural remodeling is associated with the fibroinflammatory process in the atrial extracellular matrix. In the present study we aimed to investigate whether serum levels of new circulating remodeling markers differ in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to patients with sinus rhythm.
