Assessment of anticoagulation treatments in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients diagnosed in a basic health area.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. To assess the need for anticoagulation is essential for its management. Our objective was to investigate whether the indication of anticoagulation was adequate in patients diagnosed with non-valvular AF, given the CHA2-DS2-VASc scale, measuring the International Normalizad Ratio range (INR) in patients treated with anti-vitamin K drugs.

Objective: To study the improvement of metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, adherence, self-monitoring, self-care, attitudes and motivation in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) in a specific Health Care Area after group intervention through the community: diabetes education (DE) and physical exercise (PE).

Design: A single blind, randomised controlled clinical trial.

Intervention: group 1: DE; group 2: ED and PE; group 3: only PE, and "control" group-4: Individual consultations.
