Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia. Recent investigations have suggested that inflammation might have a role in the pathophysiology of AF. In this review, the association between inflammation and AF, and the effects of several agents that have anti-inflammatory actions, such as statins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, corticosteroids and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, have been investigated.
心房颤动(AF)是最常见的临床心律失常。最近的研究表明,炎症可能在AF的病理生理学中起作用。在本综述中,研究了炎症与AF之间的关联,以及几种具有抗炎作用的药物的效果,如他汀类药物、多不饱和脂肪酸、皮质类固醇以及血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂和血管紧张素受体阻滞剂。
