Utilization of antithrombotic therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: a cross‐sectional baseline analysis in general practice
Conclusion: We found an encouraging improvement compared to previous studies in the utilisation of antithrombotic therapy for stroke prevention in AF within general practice. Warfarin is now utilised as the mainstay therapy, followed by aspirin, although the novel oral anticoagulants are entering the spectrum of therapies used. Consideration needs to be given to the potential impact of the newer agents and their scope of use. There has been an encouraging temporal improvement in the utilization of antithrombotic therapy for stroke prevention in AF within general practice. Anticoagulants (mostly warfarin) are now utilized ...
