Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac rhythm disorder and patients with this condition are at an increased risk of strokes and other thromboembolic events. Available treatment options for the prevention of strokes in patients with AF include warfarin, aspirin and the novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Warfarin and aspirin reduce the risk of strokes in patients with AF and have been studied extensively. The NOACs are slowly beginning to make their way onto the South African market and are specifically highlighted in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
