Clinical profile and outcomes in very elderly patients with atrial fibrillation anticoagulated with rivaroxaban: data from the EMIR study.

Objectives: To analyze the clinical profile, adequacy of treatment with rivaroxaban and outcomes in octogenarians with atrial fibrillation (AF), taking rivaroxaban in clinical practice.

Methods: Observational and non-interventional study that included AF adults recruited from 79 Spanish centers, anticoagulated with rivaroxaban ≥ 6 months before being included. Data were analyzed according to age (≥ 80 .

Use of Direct Acting Oral Anticoagulants in Elderly Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Multicenter, Cross-Sectional Study in Spain.

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have substantially improved anticoagulation. However, data on NOAC use among elderly patients are scarce. We sought to describe NOAC use among elderly AF patients in Spain.
