Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. To investigate the effects of dabigatran on measurements of platelet function ;Secondary Objective: 2. To investigate the effect of dabigatran on other laboratory parameters 3. Describe the effect of atrial fibrillation on platelets;Primary end point(s): Extent of thrombin receptor activating peptide induced platelet aggregation ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For each person the endpoint is determined within two hours from blood collection. The data for the study is evaluated after last subject's last visit | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
