Trends in antithrombotic management of patients with atrial fibrillation. A report from the Polish part of the EURObservational Research Programme - Atrial Fibrillation General Long-Term Registry.
Data on antithrombotic treatment among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Poland are limited. ⋯ Patients with the lowest stroke risk are often overtreated. The choice of proper antithrombotic strategy does not depend solely on factors incorporated in the CHA2DS2‑VASc score. Higher mortality is observed among APT‑treated patients and those without antithrombotic treatment.
