However, patients with AF had significantly lower levels of irisin (median 4.75 vs. 13.5 ng/mL, p = 0.007), leptin (median 9.5 vs. 15.0 ng/L, p = 0.023), and MDA (median 293 vs. 450 ng/mL, p = 0.017) and significantly higher values of NT-proBNP (median 2365 vs. 529 ng/L, p < 0.001) as compared to patients without AF (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene FNDC5 and atrial fibrillation.
