OVERVIEW

Get your questions answered by pharmacist experts!

National guidelines for the management of non-valvular AF (NVAF), which is the most common type of AF, now recommend direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) over warfarin in patients who are eligible for oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. There are many factors to consider when choosing an anticoagulant in this population, and making evidence-based, patient-specific decisions in this arena can be challenging. Stroke risk, bleeding risk, dosing regimen/ease of adherence, drug interactions, and patient comorbidities may all play a role in the anticoagulant selection process. This interactive webinar will provide the opportunity to ask questions about current management strategies for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The presentation, which will afford greater opportunities to ask questions, will cover the latest science on the consequences of undiagnosed/untreated NVAF, identification strategies and risk factors, and considerations for anticoagulant selection to ensure early and appropriate NVAF treatment for optimal stroke prevention.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this program, participants should be better able to:

  • Discuss the consequences of NVAF in patients who are undiagnosed or untreated
  • Summarize different AF screening methods and opportunities to improve AF detection
  • Differentiate between direct-acting oral anticoagulants used for NVAF and the rationale for their use in stroke prevention
  • Formulate strategies to optimize individualized anticoagulant selection and patient management to enhance treatment outcomes for NVAF
