Jason Andrade: SINGLE-AF Trial Validates Early Anticoagulation in AF
Jason Andrade, Clinical Professor at The University of British Columbia, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This is an incredibly important study.
The just presented SINGLE-AF trial randomised patients with a single risk factor (other than sex), demonstrating a significant reduction in stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, or death from cardiovascular causes at 24 months.
Although the SCC CCS AF guidelines have advocated for OAC for this group of patients for many years, sometimes at contrast with other national societies, its nice to see that this approach has been validated in a large RCT.”
Oussama Wazni, Vice Chair of CVM, Section Head of Cardiac EP at Cleveland Clinic, shared this post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Yes Jason, a very important study indeed and in line with our thinking for anticoagulation in this group.”
