Özet

Objective: Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with a five-fold increased risk of thromboembolic events. Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been the mainstay of oral anticoagulant prophylaxis and the data on stroke prevention strategies are limited to VKA era. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of VKA, non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC), and antiplatelet agents in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
