Stroke prevention strategies
Subjects with rhythm control strategy had significantly higher
proportion of patients with no antithrombotic therapy, non-vitamin K
antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)
alone (all p < 0.05) than those with rate control. Patients
with rate control have significantly higher proportion of patients with
overall OAC, OAC alone and VKA (all p <0.001) than those with
rhythm control, Table 3.
