Abstract 9: The Relationship Between Patient Diversity and Warfarin Use in Atrial Fibrillation: A Ten-Year Perspective (2000-2010) on Cardiovascular Outcomes [Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstract Presentations on Stroke Topics]
Conclusions: Significant differences in key metrics between race/ethnicity and gender exist. Across all metrics, Blacks had worse outcomes with less warfarin use and comparatively worse outcomes even when on warfarin. Patient diversity should be a focus for future trials in AF-related cardiovascular outcomes.
