Complex mechanisms of responsible for originating and maintaining of atrial fibrillation (AF) are involved in pathophysiology of this arrhythmia. Inflammation substantially contribute to arrhythmic remodelling of atrial tissue.The aim of the present study is to assess an applicability of ferritin and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as biomarkers of atrial fibrillation and their usefulness in evaluation of efficacy of cryoablation. The study population consisted of 40 patients who underwent first AF cryoablation procedure. The whole follow-up time was for 6 months. The efficacy of cryoablation was defined as lack of episodes of AF longer than 30 s reported either in patient’s medical documentation or present in standard or Holter ECG records. Concentrations of hs-CRP (latex method ) and ferritin (immunochemical method) were determined in standard way in hospital laboratory. The recurrence of atrial fibrillation during follow-up was detected in 7 of 40 patients (efficacy 82.5%). Basal concentrations of hs-CRP and ferritin were significantly higher in patients who underwent ablation during AF. Ablation resulted in an increase of either hs-CRP or ferritin concentrations. After seven days, both hs-CRP and ferritin concentrations returned to basal level. The trend toward the higher concentration of hs-CRP was observed in AF recurrence subgroup in 30th and the 90th day after the procedure. Ferritin concentrations were significantly higher in recurrence subgroup after 30 and 90 days. Our results suggest that the evaluation of ferritin serum level can be a potential tool for assessment of AF treatment efficacy.
