Effectiveness and Safety of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with warfarin, patients with HCM and AF on NOACs had similar stroke and major bleeding risks, but lower all-cause mortality and composite fatal cardiovascular events. Our data suggest that patients with HCM and AF can be safely and effectively treated with NOACs. PMID: 30472021 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
