CRP and Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: Our analyses revealed that, in patients undergoing CB or RF ablation for paroxysmal AF, (1) there were no significant between-group differences with respect to the PAC burden on Holter monitoring and the level of TnT, but significantly higher levels of CK-MB and CRP were observed in the CB group the day after ablation; (2) patients with a higher PAC burden had a higher incidence of LRAF; and (3) a higher PAC burden and VERAF were significant predictors of LRAF after CB ablation and after RF ablation.
