Objective: Atrial fibrosis is one of the main components of atrial fibrillation (AF) pathophysiology and culminates in structural, electrical and contractile remodelling. Fibronectin is one of the well-known mediators of fibrogenesis. However, the association of plasma fibronectin with atrial remode...
