DESCRIPTION

Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and represents a frequent cause of any ischemic stroke, as well as the leading cause of thromboembolic stroke. Correct approaches of oral anticoagulation are crucial to prevent atrial fibrillation-related thromboembolic events. This book provides practical indications on the strategies of oral anticoagulation for all settings of atrial fibrillation patients. The book is timely, as in particular it delivers information and suggestions on the use of direct oral anticoagulants in a variety of “difficult” clinical contexts derived from research data and their clinical use in the last 15 years. Newest antithrombotic treatments and contemporary non-pharmacological approaches to prevent thrombotic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation are also addressed in the book.
