Mike Sharma: Adding Antiplatelets to Anticoagulation in AF Increases Harm Without Benefit
Mike Sharma, Senior Scientist at Population Health Research Institute, reposted from JAMA Neurology on LinkedIn:
”Adding antiplatelets to anticoagulation in the setting of AF results in hazard without benefit. Now we’ll established in multiple studies. Where we lack data is in short term use following a cerebrovascular event that may be atherosclerotic in origin in patients with coexisting AF.”
Quoting JAMA Neurology‘s post:
”Editorial: The ATIS-NVAF trial shows adding antiplatelet therapy to OAC in stroke patients with AF and atherosclerotic disease increases major bleeding without significant reduction in ischemic events.”
