Özet:

Stroke associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is one of the most important subtypes of stroke, and its importance is becoming more apparent in elderly. Until now, warfarin had been one of the only treatment options for long-term anticoagulation of patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, or other conditions that require chronic anticoagulation. New oral anticoagulants are being evaluated in the prevention of stroke associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in addition to treatment with the conventional oral anticoagulant, warfarin. Dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban are the new anticoagulants.
