Abstract
Cardioversion in atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. Current recommendations advise therapy with the anticoagulant warfarin both before and after cardioversion. A new post hoc analysis of data from the Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulation Therapy (RE-LY) trial shows that the novel anticoagulant dabigatran is a safe alternative to warfarin in patients with AF who undergo cardioversion.
