PREVENTION OF STROKE IN PATIENTS WITH AF IN CHINA Dayi Hu Peking University
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) • The most common significant heart rhythm disturbance • Incidence increases with age and the development of structural heart disease • Common cause of stroke (10-15% of all strokes) • Associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality • Tends to recur in at least half the patients being treated with antiarrhythmic drug therapy

Conclusions • Compared to aspirin, adjusted-dosed warfarin (INR 2.0-3.0) can significantly reduce: -- primary endpoints by 44% 56% -- thromboembolism events by 52% -- combined endpoints by 36%39% • For Chinese NVAF patients, most of which (63.5% ) have at least one risk factor, warfarin is more effective than aspirin(150-160mg) • Warfarin is associated with increased risk of hemorrhage.
