Use of oral anticoagulants among individuals with cancer and atrial fibrillation in the United States, 2010 –2016
ConclusionsNearly 7 out of 10 patients with cancer and NVAF did not receive anticoagulation. Use of DOACs increased from 2010 to 2016, with a corresponding decline in warfarin use. DOACs are used less than warfarin among those at higher risk of stroke.

Drugs in phase I and II clinical development for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2021 Mar 8. doi: 10.1080/13543784.2021.1897786. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia globally and is associated with ischemic stroke and heart failure. Patients with atrial fibrillation are typically prescribed long term anticoagulants in the form of either vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants; however, both carry a potential risk of adverse bleeding.AREAS COVERED: This paper sheds light on emerging anticoagulant agents which target clotting factors XI and XII, or their activated forms...
