Millions of patients in the United States use anticoagulation for a variety of indications, such as the prevention of stroke in those with atrial fibrillation (AF) and the treatment and prevention of venous thrombosis. For over six decades warfarin was the only available oral anticoagulant, but now several DOACs are available and their use has become more prevalent in recent years. In spite of this increased use, many physicians remain reluctant to prescribe DOACs due to concerns about bleeding and reversibility.
在美国,数百万患者因各种适应症而使用抗凝药物,例如预防心房颤动(AF)患者的中风以及治疗和预防静脉血栓形成。六十多年来,华法林一直是唯一可用的口服抗凝剂,但现在有几种直接口服抗凝剂(DOACs)可供使用,并且近年来它们的使用变得更加普遍。尽管使用量有所增加,但由于担心出血和可逆性,许多医生仍然不愿意开DOACs。
