nonvalvular atrial fibrillation noac – nonvalvular atrial fibrillation guidelines
Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants NOACs are currently recommended for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation since the publication of the 4 major pivotal trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of factor IIa and factor Xa inhibitors The definition of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is unclear varying from one trial to another and even between North American and European guidelines which is a source of uncertainties in clinical …

[New oral anticoagulants in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation]
NHSGGC guidance states that patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation AF who are believed to be adhering to warfarin therapy but have a poorly controlled INR should be considered for a Novel Oral Anticoagulant NOAC A poorly controlled INR in this context is defined as therapeutic INR < 60% of the time, The NOACs apixaban, dabigatran and rivaroxaban should

· Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants NOACs are considered the first-line therapy to prevent stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation AF 1 and are recommended by the recent ESC guidelines in preference to vitamin K antagonists VKAs 1 Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants offer many advantages compared to VKAs which include fixed dosing up to two times a day fewer
Therapy persistence in newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial
The drawbacks of VKA have prompted the development of new oral anticoagulants NOAC that are at least as efficacious and safe as warfarin in phase III trials Dabigatran 220 and 300mg/day rivaroxaban 20mg/day and apixaban 10mg/day were proved to be non-inferior compared with warfarin in the prevention of bleeding, stroke and systemic embolism, Dabigatran 300mg/day and apixaban were found to be statistically superior …

Atrial fibrillation AF confers a substantial risk of stroke Recent trials comparing vitamin K antagonists VKAs with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants NOACs in AF were performed among patients with so-called “non-valvular” AF The distinction between “valvular” and “non-valvular” AF remains a matter of debate Currently, “valvular AF” refers to patients with mitral stenosis or artificial heart valves and valve repair in …
Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Nonvalvular Atrial
Adherence to non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants NOACs is an important factor for ensuring efficacy and safety in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation NVAF There are controversial results regarding NOAC adherence in real-world data and there are no data about NOAC adherence in Turkish population,

Efforts to reduce stroke in atrial fibrillation AF have focused on increasing physician adherence to oral anticoagulant OAC guidelines but high early vitamin K antagonist VKA discontinuation is a limitation, We compared persistence of non-VKA OAC NOAC with VKA treatment in the first year after OAC inception for incident AF in real-world

Where a NOAC is considered to be the most appropriate anticoagulant edoxaban is to be used 1st line for patients with NVAF unless there is a specific clinical reason not to do so Doses should be selected with care when initiating treatment with a NOAC and should be reviewed on an annual basis
