CRP and atrial fibrillation: That suggestion was further confirmed when scientists from Greece observed that the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are directly linked with the recurrence of AF after cardioversion and that the restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) resulted in a gradual decrease of hs-CRP [43], while Rotter et al. reported that CRP levels in individuals with AF declined following effective ablation [44,45].
