Abstract
Our results demonstrate that AF development and progression (from paroxysmal to persistent) is associated with a gradual increase in serum levels of NT-proBNP, IL-6 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio. Moreover, this study suggests that the relationship between TGF-β1, NT-proBNP and LA diameter allows for the progression of atrial remodeling during AF, despite compensatory changes in the TGF-β1 signaling pathway.
