CRP and atrial fibrillation: The detection of an elevated CRP at the baseline was associated with a higher risk of future AF (OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.08–1.58; p = 0.005), and increasing CRP levels over time significantly predicted the development of AF in patients with a sinus rhythm (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.11–1.40; p < 0.001) [24].
