The Role of Cardiac Biomarkers in Prediction of Outcome in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation

atrial fibrillation, inflammatory biomarkers, catheter ablation, to assess if pre-ablation levels of inflammatory biomarkers serve as independent predictors of procedure outcome, to evaluate the inflammatory activation following catheter ablation and examine its predictive role in procedure success, to determine if a change in the baseline level of biomarkers at 3-months follow-up has any correlation with long-term outcome, to study the association of certain biomarkers with specific types of af (paroxysmal or persistent or long standing persistent), observational
