- W2133053719 abstract "Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia, affects 2.2 million individuals in the USA and 4.5 million in Europe, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Pharmacotherapy aimed at controlling both heart rate and rhythm is employed to relieve AF symptoms, though debate continues about which approach is preferable. AF prevalence rises with age from 0.4% to 1% in the general population to 11% in those aged >70 years. AF is associated with a pro-thrombotic state and other comorbidities; age, hypertension, heart failure and diabetes mellitus all play a key role in AF pathogenesis. Anti-coagulation is essential for stroke prevention in patients with AF and is recommended for patients with one or more risk factors for stroke. Used within the recommended therapeutic range, warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists decrease the incidence of stroke and mortality in AF patients. Warfarin remains under-used, however, because of the perceived high risk of haemorrhage, narrow therapeutic window and need for regular monitoring. Several novel anti-coagulants show promise in AF-related stroke prevention. In particular, the novel, oral, direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran etexilate, recently licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada has shown improved efficacy and safety compared with warfarin for stroke prevention in AF, and has the potential to replace warfarin in this indication. The increasing number of new therapeutic options, including improved anti-arrhythmic agents, novel anti-coagulants and more accessible ablation techniques, are likely to deliver better care for AF patients in the near future." @default.
