Detection of circulating alpha-actinin in non-insulin-dependent diabetics with autonomic dysfunction.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Recent studies have shown that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) measured before cardioversion (CV) plays a significant role in predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) relapse. The time course of changes in hs-CRP after successful electrical CV remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to...
