Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) creates a higher risk for blood clots, and this study explored the role of certain coagulation factors in predicting outcomes for AF patients.
- The study involved 284 patients with AF, measuring levels of various coagulation indicators and monitoring their health over an average of 47 months, focusing on occurrences like strokes and cardiovascular deaths.
- Results showed that the presence of active FXIa was linked to a higher chance of ischemic strokes and deaths in patients, suggesting that targeting FXIa could improve cardiovascular prevention in AF beyond current treatments.
