Individualized approaches to thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation
Publication date: March 2016 Source:American Heart Journal, Volume 173 Author(s): Oliver J. Ziff, A. John Camm Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. The prevalence of AF in persons older than 55 years is at least 33.5 million globally and is predicted to more than double in the next half-century. Anticoagulation, heart rate control, and heart rhythm control comprise the 3 main treatment strategies in AF. Anticoagulation is aimed at preventing debilitating stroke, systemic embolism, and associated mortality. Historically, anticoagulation in AF was achieved with a vitamin K antagonist such as ...

Design and rationale of Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A global registry program on long-term oral antithrombotic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: Novel features of this registry program will add data from clinical practice to those from randomized trials to expand knowledge of antithrombotic treatment in patients with AF.
