Abstract
Apixaban is the only NOA the administration of which is associated with a reduction in the incidence of both stroke and major bleeding. Therefore, apixaban is the drug of choice in patients with non-valvular AF, including elderly patients, patients with a high risk of bleeding complications, as well as in patients with impaired renal function. In clinical practice, the efficacy and safety of apixaban are not inferior to those obtained in the ARISTOTLE trial. Apixaban is safe when used during cardioversion and catheter ablation. The results of pre-clinical studies provide implications for further investigation into the possibility of administration of apixaban in patients with «valvular» AF.
