Atrial fibrillation is a growing problem fueled by an aging population. Atrial fibrillation patients had 5 times the risk of ischemic stroke compared with age-matched patients in sinus rhythm. Despite the increased risk, multiple investigations have found that only about one-half of eligible patients receive the recommended treatment with the vitamin K antagonist warfarin. Those who are treated tend to be undertreated, and half of them are outside of the therapeutic window at any time. These activities will address a rational approach to risk assessment and treatment guidelines that will benefit your patients and your practice.
