Atrial fibrillation(AF)is one of the most common cardiac dysrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Although major advances in management and prophylaxis in recent years, AF continues to be associated with increased morbidity, repeated hospitalization, reduced quality of life, and even death, causing great social and economic burden. So far, the mechanism underlying AF is not completely elucidated. There is an enormous and complicated pathogenesis involved in the occurrence and maintenance of AF. At present, a lot of studies show that inflammation is closely associated with AF. Inflammation may take part in the occurrence and maintenance of AF through the influence of cardiac electrical remodeling and structural remodeling. This review focuses on research progress of correlation evidence of inflammation and atrial fibrillation and anti-inflammatory drug therapies of AF.
