A new era of anticoagulant therapy in the prevention of stroke in non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation

Abstract
It is known that non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common types of cardiac arrhythmia and a common cause of cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Oral anticoagulant therapy is a leader in the prevention of thromboembolic events in AF. More than 60 years, only warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists (VKA) were used as oral therapy due to their extraordinary efficacy in preventing stroke and other thromboembolic events after myocardial infarction in AF and prosthetic heart valves. In addition, there are numerous problems associated with treatment with VKA, which significantly limits their widespread use. New anticoagulants, such as the oral direct thrombin inhibitor (dabigatrana etexilate) and the direct factor Xa antagonists rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, have been recently designed, clinically tested, and put into practice. The initiation of clinical use of these agents has opened up a new page of oral anticoagulant therapy in the prevention of thromboembolic events in AF.
