High leptin and low blood adiponectin, TNF-alpha and irisin blood concentrations as factors linking obesity with the risk of atrial fibrillation among inpatients with cardiovascular disorders.

CONCLUSIONS: Adipocytokines and irisin exert a significant but weak effect on heart chamber size and affect the risk of AF occurrence. Blood concentration of these substances does not seem to be related simply to body composition, but probably depends on interpersonal variations in adipocytokine and myokine secretion as a result of many factors.
