Prognostic implication of monocytes in atrial fibrillation: The West Birmingham Atrial Fibrillation Project.

High monocyte counts independently predict the occurrence of MACE, major bleeding and mortality, but not SSE. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms involved would help understand the relationships between monocytes, and adverse thrombotic and bleeding outcomes in AF patients.
