    C-reactive protein and atrial fibrillation: "Evidence for the presence of inflammation in the perpetuation of the arrhythmia"
    (ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2006) Acevedo, M; Corbalan, R; Braun, S; Pereira, J; Navarrete, C; Gonzalez, I
    Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated to a high risk of systemic embolism. The mechanisms that contribute to thrombogenesis in these patients are still poorly understood. Systemic and/or local inflammation could be involved in the process of thrombogenesis and contribute to the perpetuation of the arrhythmia. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of inflammation and its relation to thrombogenesis and cardiac rhythm in AF.
