[A prospective protocol increases oral anticoagulant prescription in patients with chronic, nonvalvular atrial fibrillation].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Observational studies have shown that oral anticoagulants (OAC) prescription is suboptimal in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness of a prospective protocol for increasing OAC usage in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD From 1 February 2000 until 31 October 2002 we enrolled all patients with chronic NVA...
متن کاملNO hope for patients with atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF), either in its paroxysmal or chronic form, is associated with an increased risk of systemic embolization. Currently, the only effective therapy to reduce this risk is long-term systemic anticoagulation. Such treatment comes at a considerable cost; approximately 3% of patients with nonvalvular AF receiving an oral anticoagulant experience major bleeding events that requi...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Prescription of New Anticoagulant Drugs and Its Determinant Factors in Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background: Patients with ischemic stroke and underlying Atrial Fibrillation (AF) have a high risk of recurrent embolic events. New Oral Anticoagulant (NOAC) is highly effective and reduces the risk of recurrence in AF-associated Ischemic Stroke (AFAIS). Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prescription pattern of NOAC and its determinant factors in patients with non-valvular AFAIS. ...
متن کاملEffect of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy on Coagulation Activity and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Ablation: A Randomized Comparison between Dabigatran and Warfarin
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with inflammatory and hypercoagulability state. Previous studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of dabigatran and warfarin in prevention of thrombothic complications. This study was intended to assess the influence of these drugs on hemostatic and inflammatory markers among patient underwent pulmonary vein ablation. A total of 100 patients with AF w...
