The summary statistics for IL-17F across the three groups AF, AF+CMS, and CMS (Appendix 1-Table a) showed that IL_17F was highest in AF group compared to AF+CMS and the CMS group (2.052±1.935 vs. 1.370±1.802 and 0.332± 0.196 pg/mL, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene IL17F and atrial fibrillation.
