Abstract
Introduction: Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) and left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) increase the risk of stroke and its severity in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Formation of denser fibrin networks and impaired fibrinolysis are associated with stroke risk in AF. This study investigated whether the prothrombotic fibrin clot phenotype characterizes patients with SEC/LAAT. Methods: We studied 139 anticoagulated patients with AF (median age, 70 years), who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). SEC and LAAT were recorded. We assessed plasma fibrin clot properties, i.e. permeability (Ks) and clot lysis time (CLT), von Willebrand Factor (vWF) antigen, endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), proteins involved in thrombosis and fibrinolysis, as well as plasma carbonylated protein content (PC). Results: SEC/LAAT was identified in 36 subjects (25.9 %) and was associated with heart failure (HF), AF duration, higher CHA2DS2VASc score, N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide, and growth differentiation factor 15. Patients with SEC/LAAT had lower Ks (−15 %) and prolonged CLT (+19 %), along with higher fibrinogen (+24 %), ETP (+3 %), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 antigen (+16 %) compared with the remainder. Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor antigen, plasminogen, α2 − antiplasmin, and tissue plasminogen activator antigen were similar between the two groups. PC content was 50 % higher in SEC/LAAT and correlated with Ks (r = −0.47, p < 0.001) and CLT (r = 0.40, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, Ks, CLT, and PC levels, along with HF, remained independently associated with SEC/LAAT. Conclusions: We demonstrated a formation of denser and poorly lysable fibrin networks in AF patients with SEC/LAAT despite anticoagulation. We suggest that this phenomenon is in part related to enhanced oxidative stress.
