Intracardiac Hemostasis and Fibrinolysis Parameters in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: None of the investigated hemostasis or fibrinolysis parameters showed significant intracardiac alterations in AF patients as compared to non-AF controls. AF patients have elevated FVIII and VWF levels, most likely due to endothelial damage, presenting at both intracardiac and systemic level.
