Relation Between High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein And Thromboembolic Risk Markers Assessed By Echocardiography In Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Document Type : Abstracts

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.
