“…Similarly, in the present study we found that CRP level was higher in AF group than in controls and CRP level was associated with AF. Moreover, we observed an elevated trend of CRP level in permanent AF patients, consistent with previous study [31]. Although CRP is a marker of AF, in the present study we revealed that elevated serum FGF-21 level remained significantly associated with AF, even after the adjustment for CRP, suggesting that serum FGF-21 may be another biomarker of AF.…”

“…Although inflammation is thought to contribute to incident AF, and a small study from Turkey reporting that increased resistin was related to paroxysmal and persistent AF, although not permanent AF 36 , we did not see an independent association of resistin with AF in this cohort during the follow-up period. Our ability to fully investigate AF as an outcome, however, was limited in that AF is not a fully adjudicated outcome in MESA but a self-reported or ICD-9 based event from inpatient records.…”

“…CRP was shown to attenuate this relationship. Since then, an additional case–control study of 100 patients with AF demonstrated that patients with paroxysmal and permanent AF had higher serum resistin levels than matched controls 21. Most recently, however, the association between resistin and AF was demonstrated to be less robust in a study conducted by Muse et al 22.…”
