Abstract
The review article discusses the safety issue of anticoagulant therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation and high risk of bleeding. An evidence base is presented demonstrating the high safety of rivaroxaban in patients over 80 years of age, with a high risk of bleeding and cardiovascular complications, the presence of comorbid pathology, geriatric syndromes and chronic kidney disease (including in combination with anemia). The problem of low adherence to treatment in elderly patients and the possibility of solving it were separately considered.
期刊介绍:
The primary goals of the Journal are consolidation of information on scientific and practical achievements in pharmacotherapy and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and continuing education of cardiologists and internists. The scientific concept of the edition suggests the publication of information on current achievements in cardiology, the results of national and international clinical trials. The Journal publishes original articles on the results of clinical trials designed to study the effectiveness and safety of drugs, analysis of clinical practice and its compliance with national and international recommendations, expert s’ opinions on a wide range of cardiology issues, associated conditions and clinical pharmacology. There is a heading “Preventive cardiology and public health” in the Journal to stimulate research interest in this highly demanded area. Memories of the outstanding people in medicine including cardiology, which are of great interest to historians of medicine, are published in "Our Mentors” heading.
