title: Relation of interleukin-6 levels and prothrombin fragment 1+2 to a point-based score for stroke risk in atrial fibrillation.
abstract: Interleukin-6 levels, but not prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, correlates with a point-based score for stroke risk in atrial fibrillation, even after oral anticogulation.
