Management of stroke prevention in bulgarian patients With non-valvular atrial fibrillation (bul-af survey)
It is well known the patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a 5-fold increased risk of stroke compared to those without AF. Moreover, the incidence of ischemic stroke in asymptomatic or recurrent paroxysmal AF is comparable to this one in chronic AF. In this setting, the knowledge of the physicians about the anticoagulation therapy in AF is essential to reduce the AF complications and to improve the quality of patients` life. (See Figs. 1 and 2.)
