The effect of COVID-19 on the thromboembolic outcomes in atrial fibrillation patients in the long run

CONCLUSIONS: Having caught COVID-19 is likely to be associated with increased long-term thromboembolic outcomes in AF patients. Albeit the study design does not permit us to infer causality, our results question the necessity of more intensive anticoagulant therapy and closer follow-up in AF patients with past COVID-19.PMID:38032255 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2286421
