Filippo Crea: AF and Alzheimer’s Disease – Does the Anticoagulant Choice Matter for the Brain?

Filippo Crea, Editor-in-Chief of European Heart Journal, shared a post on X about a recent article by Nanbo Zhu et al. published in European Heart Journal, adding:

“Atrial fibrillation and Alzheimer’s disease: does the anticoagulant choice matter for the brain?

Direct oral anticoagulants: slower cognitive decline than warfarin or no treatment.

Also fewer strokes, fewer deaths, no excess bleeding.

Read the Swedish nationwide study in EHJ.”
