Electrical cardioversion (EC) remains the most effective treatment for the restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). During the development of AF, structural remodeling (besides electrical remodeling) and inflammation could play a pivotal role in perpetuation and recurrence of the arrhythmia after EC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of inflammation [as indicated by C-reactive protein (CRP)] and matrix degradation [matrix metalloproteinase type I, MMP-1, its tissue inhibitor, TIMP-1 and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I, ICTP)] on the success of EC and maintenance of sinus rhythm.
