Abstract
BACKGROUND: Omentin-1 is one of the adipokines associated with obesity, diabetes, and coronary heart disease development. We determined to investigate whether serum omentin-1 concentrations were correlated with the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Serum omentin-1 concentrations were examined in a cross-sectional population that included 220 patients with AF (70 with paroxysmal AF, 78 with persistent AF, and 72 with permanent AF) and 115 healthy controls.
RESULTS: Reduced serum omentin-1 concentrations were found in AF patients compared to the controls. In addition, patients with permanent AF had lower serum omentin-1 concentrations compared to patients with persistent AF and patients with paroxysmal AF. Significantly decreased serum omentin-1 concentrations were observed in persistent AF patients compared to paroxysmal AF patients. Spearman correlation analysis suggested that serum omentin-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with left atrial diameter in AF patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Serum omentin-1 concentrations were correlated with the presence of AF and atrial remolding.
