Abstract | ||
There is strong association between inflammation and atrial fibrillation (AF), as high- levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) have been noted to be higher among patients with AF. AF promotes thromboembolism through a variety of mechanisms, blood stasis, endothelial dysfunction andinflammation. | ||
