Relationship of indices of inflammation and thrombogenesis to arrhythmia burden in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Chest, 10/29/09

Watson T et al. – Given no appreciable difference in levels of prothrombotic markers in relation to AFB in this study, it is plausible that these abnormalities do in fact relate to underlying risk factors, and that such patients should be anticoagulated if risk factors dictate. Thus, AFB per se should probably not influence the decision to anticoagulate, but rather the presence of AF combined with clinical risk scoring should remain the predominant tool for stroke risk assessment.
