Blood pressure control in anticoagulated patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation.

Objective: To determine the clinical profile and blood pressure (BP) control rates of anticoagulated patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods: The PAULA study was a multicenter cross-sectional/retrospective observational study conducted throughout Spain. The study included patients with nonvalvular AF who were receiving vitamin K antagonist therapy during the past year and were attended at primary care setting.

Evaluation of SAMe-TT2R2 score and other clinical factors influencing the quality of anticoagulation therapy in non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a nationwide study in Spain.

Objective: To assess the major clinical factors affecting the quality of anticoagulation and evaluate the predictive value of the SAMe-TT2R2 score to identify patients who will achieve a high average time in therapeutic range (T.T.R.
