Effect of Age on Treatment, Trends and Outcome of Patients Hospitalized With Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From a 20-Years Registry in a Middle-eastern Country (1991-2010).
Conclusion: Anticoagulation remains underutilized in elderly patients with AF despite proven efficacy and increasing trends of cardiovascular comorbidities. The current study underscores the urgent need for prospective studies to investigate warfarin contraindications, relative warfarin efficacy and bleeding risks in our region to help guide healthcare providers in warfarin prescribing in this frail patient population and consequently reduce the risk of AF-related disabling strokes and mortality.
