Atrial fibrillation and inflammation

摘要

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia.Recent investigations have suggested that inflammation might have a role in the pathophysiology of AF.In this review,the association between inflammation and AF,and the effects of several agents that have anti-inflammatory actions,such as statins,polyunsaturated fatty acids,corticosteroids and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers,have been investigated.
