Short-term effects of sinus rhythm restoration in patients with lone atrial fibrillation: a hormonal study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Platelet-endothelial interactions modulated by adhesion molecules, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure (CHF). Soluble levels of these molecules and platelet-derived substances are reportedly elevated in patients with CHF. However, no data are available on the plasma lev...
