Vitamin K antagonists are very effective for the prevention of cardioembolic stroke but have numerous limitations that limit their uptake in eligible patients with AF and reduce their effectiveness in treated patients. Multiple new anticoagulants are under development as potent...
متن کاملAPOLLO I: Anticoagulation control in atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Anticoagulation control as assessed by time in therapeutic range (TTR) correlates positively with the safety and efficacy of thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation. We set out to assess TTR in our unit and to investigate determinants of better control. METHODS This was a case series study of atrial fibrillation patients anticoagulated with warfarin or acenocoumarol at...
متن کامل[Atrial fibrillation. I. Etiology and pathogenesis].
Etiology and pathomechanisms of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are complicated and the knowledge about them still remains incomplete. This may be the reason why currently applied methods of prevention as well as treatment remain unsatisfied. A number of clinical situations were identified that may conduce to occurrence of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter and also lead to chronic f...
