Colchicine post-ablation reduces early atrial fibrillation recurrences
The administration of colchicine in patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation helps to prevent early recurrences of atrial fibrillation, research shows. The reduction in event recurrences appears to be mediated through a reduction in inflammation following the radiofrequency catheter-ablation procedure, with investigators showing significant reductions in inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein […]
