  • Overview

    Older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are challenging to treat due to concomitant increased risk for both stroke and bleeding and the presence of an increasing number of comorbidities. Data from clinical trials, meta-analyses, and real-world evidence support the relative merits of NOAC therapy compared with conventional anticoagulation in treating elderly patients with AF. This program focuses on the factors and considerations that can drive the choice of anticoagulation therapy for elderly patients with AF, such as comorbidities and associated medications, falling risk, and monitoring and treatment adherence, which may help clinicians optimize the care of their elderly patients with AF.

  • Target Audience

    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, which includes cardiology and internal medicine, as well as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other healthcare practitioners who are part of the care team that manage elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to: 

    • Distinguish the role that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) play within special elderly populations with NVAF
