<h4>Aims</h4>Approximately 20% of ischaemic stroke patients exhibit spontaneous arterial recanalization, attributable to endogenous fibrinolysis, which strongly relates to improved functional outcome. The impact of oral anticoagulants on endogenous fibrinolysis is unknown. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that apixaban enhances endogenous fibrinolysis in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).<h4>Methods and results</h4>In a prospective cross-sectional analysis, we compared endogenous fibrino ...[more]
