In one study, the incidence of AF paroxysms was correlated with the amount of high-sensitivity CRP (r = 0.442; p = 0.001), as well as with echocardiographic parameters, such as the biventricular atrial size (p < 0.001), left ventricular IVRT (p = 0.022), and systolic blood pressure level in the pulmonary artery (PASP) (p < 0.001) [17]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is atrial fibrillation.
