Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is associated with early coagulation activity regardless of risk factors for embolism.

CONCLUSIONS: We established high coagulation activity during the first twenty-four hours of PAF. The observed deviations in the studied parameters give us reason to consider PAF a procoagulant state independent of the well established prothrombotic risk factors, even in its early clinical manifestation.
