BACKGROUND: Increased coagulation activity has been established in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), but data on the anticoagulant system are scarce.
PURPOSE: To examine the protein C anticoagulant pathway in the early hours of the disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-one patients (26 men and 25 women; mean age 59.84 ± 1.60 years) and 52 controls (26 men and 26 women; mean age 59.50 ± 1.46 years) were selected for the study. Protein C antigen and its activity, total protein S, free protein S and its activity, soluble forms of endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR), and thrombomodulin (sTM) were examined in the plasma.
RESULTS: The indicators were studied in patients between the 2nd and the 24th hour after the onset of arrhythmia. Levels of protein C were significantly elevated in patients compared to controls (111.40% ± 6.66% vs 94.83% ± 4.47%; P = .039). Protein C activity showed significant reduction in PAF (73.13% ± 5.80% vs 103.3% ± 3.80%; P < .001). Total protein S levels did not differ significantly (108.20% ± 4.07% vs 102.40% ± 3.65%; P = .30). Free protein S (76.81% ± 6.01% vs 122.10% ± 3.97%; P < .001) and its activity (71.39% ± 6.27% vs 119.50% ± 6.54%; P < .001) were reduced in patients. Higher levels of sEPCR (203.10 ± 10.33 vs 133.10 ± 7.37 ng/mL; P < .001) and sTM (6.50±0.40 vs 4.48±0.28 ng/mL; P < .001) were measured in PAF.
CONCLUSION: Protein C activity is reduced still in the first hours (until the 24th hour) of PAF clinical manifestation, determining reduced activity of the anticoagulant pathway as a whole. The established low levels of free protein S and its activity as well as low sEPCR and sTM levels are a possible explanation of the changes in protein C activity.
