En struktureret tvaerfaglig tilgang sikrer patienter med atrieflimren korrekt antikoagulationsbehandling
Sammanfattning
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and mortality. Anticoagulation therapy reduces the risk of stroke in
patients with AF. In a structured multidisciplinary AF-clinic correct anticoagulation treatment according to guidelines was achieved in 99% (170
out of 172 patients) compared to 79% (143 out of 179 patients) in the “usual care” period (p < 0.001). We propose establishment of structured
multidisciplinary AF-clinics in Denmark to ensure optimal antithrombotic treatment and adherence to current guidelines.
