“…The recent introduction of new anticoagulants has brought considerable advances in the prevention of cerebral embolism, the most severe complication of AF. 3 , 4 However, the development of more effective antiarrhythmic drugs failed to show progress during this period. Therefore, a large number of patients still live with the limitations imposed by AF, including decreased quality of life due to symptoms such as palpitations, reduced functional capacity, or manifestations of cardiac insufficiency, in addition to the psychological problems proper of these conditions.…”

“…Além da eficácia e segurança, é importante avaliar o custo-benefício e impacto orçamentário do uso dos DOACs, visto que, apesar do paciente em uso de varfarina necessitar de monitoramento periódico da coagulação, o tratamento com DOACs, além do medicamento apresentar maior Judicialização dos anticoagulantes orais diretos custo direto, não exclui a necessidade da farmacovigilância e monitoramento da função renal e hepática, o que pode elevar ainda mais o custo do tratamento 33 . Uma revisão da literatura evidenciou que os DOACs quando analisados em estudos econômicos internacionais, demonstraram ser em sua maioria mais custo-efetivo para tratamento de FANV, enquanto, estudos brasileiros sobre rivaroxabana e dabigatrana para tratamento de FANV observaram que estes medicamentos não apresentam ser mais custo-efetivo que os medicamentos estabelecidos no SUS na primeira linha para prevenção de AVE. Os autores ainda destacam que existe uma necessidade de mais estudos para avaliar melhor a relação custo-efetividade dos DOACs no cenário brasileiro 34 .…”

“…Usually, oral anticoagulants are prescribed to prevent the occurrence of thromboembolic events in these patients. Despite the availability of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), warfarin is the only approved treatment in some groups, including valvular atrial fibrillation, kidney dysfunction and mechanical heart valves ( Scanavacca and Darrieux, 2016 ). In addition, it is the most commonly used anticoagulant in low-income and emerging countries, mainly because the cost is significantly lower ( Ageno et al., 2012 ; Burn and Pirmohamed, 2018 ).…”
