International Journal of Cardiology, 06/29/09
Leftheriotis DI et al. - Increased markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are found in patients with lone AF, implying that inflammation and oxidative stress may be associated with the presence of the arrhythmia. IL-6, sICAM-1, MDA and NT, assessed prior to and after the first cardioverted episode of persistent arrhythmia, appear to be reliable, early predictors of SR maintenance during the following year.
