Immunothrombosis and new-onset atrial fibrillation in the general population

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, age-related cardiac arrhythmia. However, the etiology underlying atrial fibrillation is still largely unknown. At the intersection of the innate immune system and hemostasis, immunothrombosis may be a possible cause of atrial remodeling, and therefore be an underlying cause of AF. Purpose We aim to evaluate the association between markers of immunothrombosis and new-onset AF in the general...
