BACKGROUND: Atrial myopathy and atrial fibrillation (AF) accompany thrombo-inflammation. This facilitates disease progression and promotes major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Thrombin receptor (protease-activated receptor 1, PAR1) signalling is central in mediating thrombo-inflammation. We hypothesised that PAR1 signalling links coagulation and inflammation through cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients presenting with first-diagnosed AF (FDAF).

METHODS: A total of 210 patients were studied. We included data and blood samples from patients presenting with FDAF (n = 160), cardiac tissue from patients with paroxysmal AF (n = 32) and 20 controls.

RESULTS: During early AF, a pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic subset of T lymphocytes (CD8+) circulated more frequently when compared to patients with chronic cardiovascular disease but without AF, accompanied by elevated plasma levels of CD8+ effector molecules, which corresponded to biomarkers of adverse cardiac remodelling and atrial dysfunction. Activation of tissue factor (TF) and PAR1 was associated with pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effector functions. PAR1-related CD8+ cell activation was more frequent in FDAF patients that experienced a MACE.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with FDAF, the TF-factor Xa-factor IIa-axis contributes to thrombo-inflammation via PAR1 in CD8+ T cells. Intervening in this cascade might be a promising synergistic approach to reducing disease progression and the vascular complications of AF.
