Abstract
Background: Management of oral anticoagulation (OAC) can be challenging, such as in complex cases of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Materials & methods: A Delphi study comprising two rounds was used for gathering expert opinion through an online questionnaire (83 items grouped in 8 dimensions) on OAC management in specific clinical settings.Results: Consensus was reached for 79 items (95%) in round 1. Experts recommended direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for pericardioversion, uninterrupted OAC for catheter ablation, and dual therapy with a DOAC and clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention. They also recommended restarting OAC with a DOAC after an intracranial haemorrhage.Conclusion: The expert-based recommendations obtained may contribute to standardizing and guiding the management of OAC in complex clinical situations in cardiology.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
