BACKGROUND: @entity955 ( @entity955 ) is the most common @entity943 and an independent risk factor for @entity64 among the elderly. A role for @entity32 in the atrial remodeling as well as development and recurrence of @entity955 is known. OBJECTIVE: To compare @entity4155 between @entity1 with different types of @entity955 and healthy individuals. METHODS: @entity4155 was measured in sera of 112 @entity1 and 107 healthy age/sex-matched controls using ELISA assay. In sera of 26 @entity1 with elevated @entity4155 (>1 Pg/ml), @entity5737 and @entity11602 levels were also measured. RESULTS: @entity4155 was significantly increased in @entity1 with @entity955 compared to controls (1.28    3.5 vs. 0.19    0.64 Pg/ml, p=0.001). There was no significant difference in the level of @entity4155 between different types of @entity955 . @entity4155 was significantly higher in @entity1 with a history of coronary artery bypass graft compared to other @entity1 (p=0.01). A significant positive correlation between @entity4155 and @entity11602 concentration was found (p=0.001). An increase in the Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was observed in @entity1 with elevated serum @entity4155 compared to other @entity1 (p=0.006). Male @entity1 showed higher increase in NLR (p=0.007) which was accompanied by a decrease in @entity5737 (p=0.000) and a marginal increase in @entity11602 (p=0.085) compared to females. There was an increase in @entity5737 levels in @entity1 receiving @entity117 (ASA) therapy (p=0.046). CONCLUSIONS: The increase in @entity4155 levels is related to the @entity955 pathology mediated by neutrophils and monocytes. The current study signifies the role of immune cells and cytokines in the pathology of @entity955 .
