Markers of inflammation (high‐sensitivity CRP, fibrinogen), atrial overload (atrial and B‐type natriuretic peptides), myocardial ischaemia (high‐sensitivity troponin T and I), cardiac fibrosis (galectin‐3), and others (soluble ST2, growth differentiation factor‐15), have been studied to predict AF incidence.165. Here, CRP is linked to atrial fibrillation.
