Lipid markers (cholesterol, LDL, HDL and TG), fibrosis/inflammation biomarkers (CRP, NLR, TNF, TGF-β, Gal-3, TIMP), creatinine, troponin I and HbA1c did not show variation in levels between the groups (recurrence vs non-recurrence) following AF ablation (Supplementary Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5). This evidence concerns the gene TIMP1 and atrial fibrillation.
