The inflammatory markers are associated with atrial fibrillation.
WBC count is the most utilised marker for systemic inflammation.
WBC count is positively and linearly associated with atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation typically based on ECG changes.Increase in WBC calculared as diffarence in WBC during hospitalization and WBC at hospital admission
Clinical variables in examining the association between WBC causes atrial fibrillation.
Increase in WBC during hospitalization furthe used to predict new onset of atrial fibrillation in these patients.
