Cross-Sectional Study Demonstrating Specificity of Iron Kinetics in Atrial Fibrillation
Although chronic inflammation may be a contributing factor, iron dynamics exhibited a distinct profile in patients with AF. The correlation between transferrin saturation and stored iron, evident in sinus rhythm patients, was abolished in AF, which supports the notion of chronic inflammation in patients with AF.
