Impact of Biomarkers of Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix Turnover on the Outcome of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Importance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence

MMP‐2 Predicts the Outcome of AF Ablation. Introduction: Although catheter ablation can effectively eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF), the progression of atrial remodeling increases the risk of recurrence. AF is associated with inflammation and subsequent myocardial fibrosis. We therefore examined...
