Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a five-fold increased risk of stroke
.
However, risk varies widely between patients and can be estimated using the CHA2DS2-VASc score
Consensus on the prevention of stroke CHA2DS2-VASc hypertension and vascular diabetes
Recently, a research article was published in Eur Heart J, an authoritative journal in the cardiovascular field.
The researchers conducted a multinational cohort study in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Scotland
.
A total of 59 076 AF patients diagnosed with low stroke risk were included in the study
.
We used inverse probability weighted (IPTW) Cox regression to assess the incidence of stroke or major bleeding with or without treatment with a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), vitamin K antagonist (VKA), or no treatment
diagnosis
In untreated patients, the rate of ischemic stroke was 0.
70 per 100 person-years and the rate of bleeding was 0.
70 per 100 person-years
.
Compared with no NOAC treatment, NOAC treatment was associated with a lower incidence of stroke [hazard ratio (HR), 0.
These observational data suggest that NOAC therapy may confer a positive net clinical benefit compared with no treatment or VKA in patients at lower stroke risk, an issue that can be tested in randomized controlled trials
