Direct anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation. From clinical trials to real-world records

The results of clinical trials with direct anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation show greater efficacy in the prevention of stroke versus warfarin. Clinical practice guidelines recommend that these drugs should be preferred to vitamin K antagonists to anticoagulate patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Keywords : atrial fibrillation; anticoagulation; real world records.
