Afib: Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with AF and CAD

Описание к видео Afib: Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with AF and CAD

This video focuses on the algorithm for the management of antithrombotic therapy in patients with A.F. and concomitant C.A.D..

Patients with both A.F. and coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease may require a combination of oral anticoagulation to reduce the risk of A.F.-related stroke plus antiplatelet therapy to reduce the risk of ischemic coronary events. However, both of these therapies are individually associated with an increased risk of bleeding.

As such, management of these patients requires a careful and balanced assessment of the individual risks of bleeding against the anticipated effects on thrombotic outcomes.
