New Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 09/15/09
Sobieraj–Teague M et al. – Atrial fibrillation is already the most common clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia and a common cause of stroke. Vitamin K antagonists are very effective for the prevention of cardioembolic stroke but have numerous limitations that limit their uptake in eligible patients with AF and reduce their effectiveness in treated patients. A new vitamin K antagonist (ATI–5923) with improved pharmacological properties compared with warfarin is also being evaluated in a phase III trial. None of the new agents have as yet been approved for clinical use.
