From: Pathophysiological role of major adipokines in Atrial Fibrillation

Adipokines

Pathophysiological aspects in AF

Adiponectin

Involvement in cardiac remodeling

Atrial remodeling

Autonomic dysfunction and inflammation

Apelin

Influence atrial myocytes,

Shortening the action potential,

Increased mean arterial filling pressure and cardiac contractility,

Increase in the conduction velocity,

Decrease in the field potential duration,

Changing blood pressure,

Cardiac inotropy, oxidative stress, myocardial fibrosis, and hypertrophy

CTRP3

Atrial fibrosis and structural remodeling

The thickness of the atrial septum

Myocardial remodeling

Chemerin

Arterial stiffness

Carotid artery plaque instability

Atrial remodeling

Omentin-1

Atrial structural remodeling

Atrial fibrosis

Electrical atrial remodeling

Interleukin-6

Modification of the cardiac extracellular matrix and cardiac dysfunction,

Affects cell-to-cell communication between cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts,

Development of myocardial damage

The severity of left ventricular dysfunction,

Left ventricular assist device conditions,

Rapidly induces atrial electrical remodeling

Leptin

Progress of atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation evoked by angiotensin II

Increased fibrosis,

Enhanced inflammation,

Promoting cardiac remodeling due to impaired cardiac metabolism,

Dysfunction of vascular

Ventricular hypertrophy

Increase in myocardial workload

Cardiac hypertrophy

TNF-α

Contributes to hypertension,

Vascular dysfunction,

Atherosclerosis progression, and cardiac remodeling

Lower the cardiac myocytes contraction,

The marker for hypertrophy,

Ventricular remodeling,

Cardiac allograft,

Atrial fibrosis,

Atrial structural remodeling,

Atrial electrical remodeling,

Abnormal Ca2+ handling and intracellular Ca2+ overload

Resistin

Chronic left ventricular myocardial damage resulting in left ventricular dysfunction

Fatty infiltration of the atrial wall

Interleukin-10

Progress of widespread and unbalanced atherosclerotic lesions

A strong link between the risk of developing atrial fibrillation and IL-10-592A/C polymorphism
