Relation between atrial fibrillatory rate and markers of inflammation and haemostasis in persistent human atrial fibrillation
Financial support: This study has been performed in and supported in part by the NordForsk network “;Electrocardiology in Atrial Fibrillation”. Drs. D. Husser and M. Stridh are supported by the Volkswagen Foundation, Germany. The CAPRAF main study was sponsored by the Regional Health Corporation of Eastern Norway, and the Medical Research Foundation, Asker and Bærum Hospital, Norway. AstraZeneca, Mölndal, Sweden provided the study medication, and AstraZeneca, Oslo, Norway, supported the study with a grant to cover for laboratory analyses.
