Atrial thrombus formation in patients with atrial flutter raises concerns of stroke risk. We investigated patients with isthmus-dependent atrial flutter for coagulation abnormalities before and after cardioversion to sinus rhythm by catheter ablation, and evaluated the relationship of the abnormalities to the echocardiographic risk markers of stroke...

Various mechanisms involved in the formation of thrombosis and regulation of coagulation have been identified to stabilize coronary atheromatous plaques. Recent research has supported the central role of coagulative factors in advancing atherosclerosis and causing coronary artery disease (CAD) [1–3]. In this regard, coagulation factor VII seems to have an essential role in the initiation and extension of coronary atherosclerosis [4, 5]...
