Blood thinners cut atrial fibrillation risk by 69%
Original: Atrial fibrillation patients saw 69% lower risk with common blood thinners
New findings indicate that patients with atrial fibrillation who take common blood thinners, or anticoagulants, have a 69% lower risk of serious complications, most likely stroke. The result reinforces existing guidance that anticoagulation therapy substantially protects this large patient group. Doctors and patients are weighing what the figures mean for treatment decisions, particularly for people at risk who are not currently medicated.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying a large protective benefit from a widely used medication naturally draws attention from patients and clinicians.
