Abstract:Purpose To investigate differences in plasma clot properties in patients with AF and CAD and compare the effect of warfarin and antiplatelets on clot structure in AF population. Methods We studied 270 patients and divided them into 3 groups: AF on warfarin (n=184), AF on antiplatelets (n=46) and CAD (n=40). Plasma samples were obtained from participants and centrifuged to prepare platelet poor plasma. Assays were performed in 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates. Reagents were diluted in standard buffer (10 m… Show more
