Abstract:Objective: To explore the relationship among the mean platelet volume, fibrinogen and left atrial size and cerebral infarction in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: One hundred and sixty-five patients with AF were divided into AF with and without cerebral infarction diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CHA2DS2-vasc score, mean platelet volume, plasma fibrinogen, left atrial size, blood pressure, serum lipid level and renal function were detected in the enrolled population. Results: Compared with the patients without cerebral infarction, the AF patients with cerebral infarction showed higher level of CHA2DS2-vasc score (P<0.001), plasma fibrinogen (P=0.002), mean platelet volume (P<0.001), fasting plasma glucose (P=0.034), lipoprotein (a) (P=0.017) and larger left atrial size (P<0.001). After adjustment of multiple traditional cardiovascular risk factors, logistic regression analysis showed that mean platelet volume, plasma fibrinogen, left atrial size and CHA2DS2-vasc score were independent risk factors for AF-related cerebral infarction. Conclusion: Except CHA2DS2-vasc score, the combined index of mean platelet volume, plasma fibrinogen and left atrial size may also play an important role in predicting the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with AF.
