Factors influencing adherence to non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in the early period after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation in China

In patients with AF, anxiety mainly arises from fear of both symptoms of AF and thromboembolic events. Since anticoagulation is the primary method to prevent thromboembolic events, it is reasonable that anxiety makes patients with AF adhere to NOAC treatment. The reason for early anticoagulant thera...

Description
Summary:In patients with AF, anxiety mainly arises from fear of both symptoms of AF and thromboembolic events. Since anticoagulation is the primary method to prevent thromboembolic events, it is reasonable that anxiety makes patients with AF adhere to NOAC treatment. The reason for early anticoagulant therapy after AF ablation is to prevent thromboembolic events caused by endocardial injury from ablation and AF rhythm. [...]physicians need to clarify this and emphasize the importance of anticoagulant therapy to patients. [...]selection bias may be present as patients were recruited from a single medical center.
