Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, occurring in 1.5-2% of the general population, with the average age of patients with this condition steadily rising such that it now average between 75 and 85 years. The arrhythmia is associated with a five-fold risk of stroke and threefold incidence of congestive heart failure, and higher mortality. Hospitalization of patients with AF is also very common. Social and economic aspects are all set to worsen over the coming decades. JACC 2001;237:371-378 ESC Guidelines 2012
Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation confers a 5-fold risk of stroke, and one in five strokes is attributed to this arrhythmia. Ischemic strokes in association with AF are often fatal, and those patients who survive are left more disabled by their stroke and more likely to suffer a recurrence than patients with other causes of stroke. In consequence, the risk of death from AF-related stroke is doubled and the cost of care is increased 1.5-fold. JAMA 1985;254:3449-3453
Atrial Fibrillation Even short episodes of silent AF convey an increased risk for stroke. In patients 65 years or older, opportunistic screening by pulse palpation, followed by an ECG in those with an irregular pulse, is important to detect AF prior to the first stroke.

Atrial Fibrillation Thus, this guideline strongly recommends a practice shift towards focus on identification of truly low-risk patients with AF, age<65 and lone AF who do not need any antithrombotic therapy, increased of trying to focus on identifying high-risk patients. ESC Guidelines 2012

AF-Anticoagulants VKAs which block the formation of multiple active vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (factors II,VII,IX, and X), these drugs block the activity of one single step in coagulation.

Ηλικία-Αιμορραγία Ο ετήσιος κίνδυνος για αγγειακό εγκεφαλικό επεισόδιο σχετιζόμενο με ΚΜ αυξάνει στους ηλικιωμένους ασθενείς, ανεβαίνοντας από το 1,5% για ηλικίες 50-59 ετών σε 23.5% για ηλικίες 80-89 ετών. Όσο αυξάνεται ο κίνδυνος για εμβολή, αυξάνεται και ο κίνδυνος για αιμορραγικά επεισόδια. Στην εποχή των νέων αντιπηκτικών φαρμάκων μόνο το 60% των ασθενών θεραπεύονται σωστά.

Stroke and left atrial appendage In patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation stroke comes from left atrial appendage - not 100%, but in the overwhelming majority that s the case. That s an important piece of information because it opens the door for mechanical approaches to occlude the LAA or to dramatically decrease flow in the LAA.

Suggested the use of dual antiplatelet therapy for 6 months followed by aspirin. However, this antiplatelet regimen also increases the risk of major bleedings.

Novel oral Anticoagulants Several new anticoagulant drugs Dabigatran (RE-LY), Rivaroxaban (ROCKET-AF), and Apixaban (ARISTOTLE). The new NOACs so far tested in clinical trials have all shown non-inferiority compared with VKAs, with better safety, consistently limiting the number of ICH.
