Abstract

Nesfatin-1, a newly discovered adipokine, inhibits inflammatory response. Inflammation is involved in the mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aim to determine the association between serum nesfatin-1 concentrations and AF. A population of 200 patients with AF and 108 patients without AF were enrolled in this study. These patients were divided into three subgroups of paroxysmal AF, persistent AF, and permanent AF. Serum nesfatin-1 concentrations were lower in AF patients than in controls. Logistic regression analysis showed that serum nesfatin-1 concentrations were inversely associated with AF. Serum nesfatin-1 concentrations in permanent AF patients decreased compared with those in persistent and paroxysmal AF groups. In addition, persistent AF patients showed reduced serum nesfatin-1 concentrations compared with paroxysmal AF subjects. Serum nesfatin-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with left atrial diameter. In conclusion, serum nesfatin-1 concentrations were inversely correlated with AF development.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
