Hospitalizations for cardiovascular events and risk for all cause and cardiovascular mortality in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation treated with oral anticoagulants: beyond preventing thromboembolism
Hospitalizations for CVEs in elderly AF/AFL OAC treated patients increased the risk for all cause and CV mortality within 12 months from admission for AF/AFL. Hospitalization for HF bared the highest risk, but the residual stroke/TIA/SE risk was noteworthy.
