Higher serum tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 predicts atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation

Higher serum tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 predicts atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation

BackgroundTissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels is strongly associated with cardiac extracellular matrix accumulation and atrial fibrosis. Whether serum levels of TIMP-1 are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) remain...
