To Assess the Predictive Value of D-dimer Level on the Occurrence of Cardiovascular Events

Place Des D-dimères Dans la Prise en Charge Des Patients en Fibrillation Auriculaire : Evaluation de la Valeur prédictive Des D-dimères Sur la Survenue d'événements Thromboemboliques

The primary aim of the study was to assess whether D-Dimer level at entry or an increase of D-Dimer level during the follow-up could predict the occurrence of subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Patients will be followed-up every 4 months with clinical assessment and D-dimer blinded measurement.

Inclusion Criteria:

• atrial fibrillation

Exclusion Criteria:

• follow-up not possible, poor prognosis within 3 months
