Research progress of anticoagulant management service for atrial fibrillation

Abstract

The morbidity and mortality caused by ischemic stroke resulted from atrial fibrillation are increasing year by year. Anticoagulation is the core strategy for the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation-related stroke. At present, the prominent problems in anticoagulation of atrial fibrillation in China include low rate of anticoagulation therapy, low rate of INR compliance, non-standard drug treatment, poor compliance with medication and follow-up, and so on. It has been reported that anticoagulation management service can significantly improve the effect and compliance of anticoagulation therapy, and reduce the hospitalization rate and emergency consultation rate of adverse events related to anticoagulation therapy. In this paper, the research progress of anticoagulant management service of atrial fibrillation at home and abroad is reviewed, providing reference for the establishment of anticoagulant management system under the hierarchical medical system in China.
