The reasons mainly include inconvenient monitoring of coagulation and the concerns on the risk of bleeding. Use of warfarin requires regular detection of INR values. The stable dosage is often influenced by patient’s diet, disease status, concomitant medicines and genetic factors [8]. Forexample, Jun Wu [4] and Jianran Xu [5] both found in their research that a close monitoring of INR value was required during the use of warfarin, and that warfarin should be maintained at a low safety intensity range to avoid bleeding and to achieve the goal of stroke prevention in elderly atrial fibrillation. In addition, many patients are intolerable, unaware of the precautions, or unaware of regular monitoring of INR, making most doctors concerned about the use of warfarin [9]. This study further demonstrated the therapeutic effect and safety of warfarin in prevention of ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation patients, which enhanced the confidence of warfarin use by physicians and provided basis for reasonable use. Communications to allow patients to fully understand the benefits and precautions may make warfarin play the greatest role in clinical practice, reduce complications and the incidence of cerebral embolism, and thus make more patients benefit from the use. Atrial fibrillation is a common type of arrhythmia in clinical practice, with an increased risk of stroke, which can be assessed by CHADS2 scores. Although warfarin is likely to increase the risk of bleeding, it is recommended by the investigator to be a prophylactic therapy when the CHADS2 score was higher than 2. However, there is no consistent conclusion in domestic or abroad studies, regarding whether warfarin can prevent stoke events, especially ischemic stroke, in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. This study showed that warfarin can prevent ischemic stroke in elderly nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients. |
