Biomarkers Associated with Major Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a five-fold increased risk of thromboembolisms, mainly stroke, independently of other risk factors. Accurate assessment to balance the risk of stroke and systemic embolic events (S/SEE), against the risk of major bleeding is therefore an important therapeutic goal in the clinical management of these patients.
