Serum High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels and the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation in Japanese Population: the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study

摘要

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and incident atrial fibrillation risk in the general Japanese population, who have lower hs-CRP levels than the Western population, and assess whether the association is modified by sex, overweight, hypertension, and smoking status.
