Abstract

Serum markers of collagen type-I turnover differed significantly between patients with AF and SR. Furthermore, these markers also differed significantly between paroxysmal and persistent AF patients, suggesting that the intensity of the extracellular synthesis and degradation of collagen type-I may be related to the burden or type of AF.
