“…Previous studies investigating the inflammatory changes following RFA have reported increased levels of IL-6, Tn-I and CRP indicating an increased systemic inflammatory activity (5,6,(10)(11)(12). We have also found an increase in IL-6 and CRP levels following RFA, but these increases did not reach statistical significance possibly due to the small sample size of our study.…”

“…Up to now, studies evaluating stem cell mobilization and inflammatory changes following RFA have included patients that received long-lasting RF application (particularly AF patients) (5,6,(10)(11)(12). In our study, nearly all patients had an RFA duration of <5 minutes.…”

“… 6–8 10–13 Therefore, we need to find better methods of attaining durable PVI, rather than ablating more. Other biological factors that potentially contribute to conduction recovery, such as haematopoietic progenitor cell mobilisation 29 30 or myofibroblasts, 31 should be considered in the future. Another point we need to consider is the definition of recurrence after AF catheter ablation.…”
