Fibrosis and inflammation may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. Type III procollagen-N-peptide (PIIINP) may be related to atrial fibrosis and play a role in predicting the recurrence of AF. We investigated whether PIIINP as a fibrosis marker predicts the recurrence of AF after cardioversion.
