Pre-procedural high serum visfatin and tumor necrosis factor-α might predict recurrent atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation

Many patients would require repeated ablation procedures owing to recurrent atrial fibrillation with its associated symptoms. Identifying those who are at risk of recurrent AF could assist us to develop preventive strategies and to properly select those who will benefit more from catheter ablation. Our aim is to study the role of preprocedural serum level of certain biomarkers in the prediction of AF recurrence after catheter ablation.
