stronger recommendations to use warfarin to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation

January 1999

      Experts just released stronger recommendations to use warfarin to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

      Warfarin is recommended for all high risk patients. These are patients over 75...or those with hypertension...poor left ventricular function...or a prior stroke or TIA.

      Warfarin substantially reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in high risk patients...and is much more effective than ASA.
