Background: The role of a prothrombotic state in atrial fibrillation (AF) progression to permanent arrythmia (PerAF) is unclear. Formation of denser and poorly lysable fibrin clots has been observed in AF patients also with sinus rhythm in association with higher stroke risk. We investigated whether altered fibrin clot properties and other prothrombotic state markers may contribute to AF transition to PerAF.

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare yet significant neurological disorder with high mortality. Understanding its evolving characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes, particularly in Chinese patients after the COVID-19 pandemic, is critical for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 471 CVST cases from Xuanwu Hospital, comparing data before (2013-2017, n = 243) and after (2021-2023, n = 228) the COVID-19 pandemic.

With an incidence of 2-5 per million adults, cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rarity in the spectrum of cerebrovascular diseases. The etiology and symptomatic presentation are heterogeneous and diverse. CSVT is, therefore, often underdiagnosed.

Excessive intake of free fatty acids (FFAs), especially saturated fatty acids, can lead to atherosclerosis and increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. FFAs also contribute to obesity, hyperlipidemia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Palmitic acid (PA) is human plasma's most abundant saturated fatty acid.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Whether prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) impact stroke risk in AF is not well known.
Objectives: To investigate the joint effects of 5 prothrombotic SNPs and AF on ischemic stroke risk.
