Abstract
Antithrombotic prophylaxis with long term warfarin or aspirin reduces thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation. Identification, risk assessment, and regular review of all patients with atrial fibrillation should be routine in general and hospital practice. Risk stratification is easily performed on clinical grounds--echocardiography may refine it.Entities:
