Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, which is associated with
a high risk of stroke and thromboembolism. Increasing evidence suggests that the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. There is plenty of evidence available to support the …

Background Vitamin K antagonists reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
but are considered unsuitable in many patients, who usually receive aspirin instead. We …

Objectives: We sought to assess the effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) on atrial thrombogenesis
in humans by determining the impact of rate and rhythm. Background: Although AF is known …

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the main source of thromboembolism in patients with non-
valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). As such, the LAA can be the target of specific occluding device …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether acute onset atrial fibrillation
(AF), independent of other risk factors, predisposes to an early prothrombotic state …

Background There is growing evidence that indicates the presence of a prothrombotic state
in atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role of hemostatic markers in AF remains inconclusive …

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation might be a risk factor for stroke such as chronic atrial fibrillation.
We examined the relation between mean platelet volume and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation to …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and a challenging clinical
problem encountered in daily clinical practice. There is an increasing body of evidence …

The procoagulant and prothrombotic states in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation are
higher than those in patients with normal sinus rhythm. Mean platelet volume (MPV) which is …
