We evaluated the clinical efficacy of intravenous potassium canrenoate in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal AF episodes.MethodsThis double-center, randomized, double-blind study comprised 52 patients with AF (lasting <48 h) in stable cardiopulmonary conditions who were eligible for cardioversion.

Rather, atherosclerotic plaques contain a significant amount of inflammatory cells, characterized by the accumulation of monocytes and lymphocytes on the vessel wall. This suggests that inflammation may play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis. As research deepens, other pathological factors have also been found to influence the development of the disease. The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway is a recently discovered target of inflammation that has gained attention in recent years. Numerous studies have provided evidence for the causal role of this pathway in atherosclerosis, and its downstream signaling factors play a significant role in this process. This brief review aims to explore the crucial role of the JAK/STAT pathway and its representative downstream signaling factors in the development of atherosclerosis.
