MINULINA Branch of Cardiology Research Institute «Tyumen Cardiology Center» THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH NON-VALVULAR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN REAL CLINICAL PRACTICEThe article evaluates the risk of thromboembolic complications and appropriateness of oral anticoagulants (OAC) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) upon admission to inpatient treatment at the Tyumen Cardiology Center in 2014. The majority of patients with non-valvular AF, which is 82% of the total number of patients admitted to the hospital, were referred to the high risk group for thromboembolic events (≥ 2 points according to CHA 2 DS 2 VASc). Before hospitalization, 39.4% of high-risk patients were taking OAC, the majority receiving warfarin. The therapeutic INR range at admission was registered in 30.8% of patients treated with warfarin. 11.1% of high-risk patients received new OAC. Thus, the anticoagulant therapy could be appropriate in 205 patients (19.8% of the high-risk group). There was a relationship between OAC treatment and the risks according to CHADS 2 and HAS-BLED, but not CHA 2 DS 2 VASc. OAC were more frequently administered by patients with persistent AF. The article demonstrates the need for a comprehensive educational and organizational initiative aimed at ensuring antithrombotic therapy which corresponds to the current clinical guidelines for patients with non-valvular AF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
