Both Pa and Af are crucially dependent on the availability of iron, and therefore are competitors in their microenvironment. Hence, interactions of Pa and Af require understanding.

Significant geographic variability in anticoagulation persists and represents an opportunity for improvement. However, anticoagulation is used frequently in low-risk patients and inconsistently in those at high risk of stroke.

Among new-onset AF patients, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant use has increased and antiplatelet monotherapy has decreased. Among patients with new-onset AF, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant use increased over time to 43% in 2016 for GARFIELD- AF and 71% for ORBIT- AF II, whereas use of antiplatelet monotherapy decreased from 36% to 17% (GARFIELD- AF) and 18% to 8% (ORBIT- AF I and II). Oral anticoagulant use was 46% and 57% for patients with a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc=0 and 69% and 87% for CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc â‰¥2 in GARFIELD- AF and ORBIT- AF II, respectively, but with substantial geographic heterogeneity in use of oral anticoagulant (range: 31%-93% and 66%-100% ). Patients from GARFIELD- AF were less likely to be white (63% vs 89% for ORBIT- AF I and 86% for ORBIT- AF II) or have coronary artery disease (19% vs 36% and 27%), but had similar stroke risk (85% CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc â‰¥2 vs 91% and 85%) and lower bleeding risk (11% with HAS-BLED â‰¥3 vs 24% and 15%). Stroke prevention therapies were assessed among patients with new-onset AF (â‰¤6 weeks).

Demographics, comorbidities, and stroke risk of the patients in the GARFIELD- AF (n=51,270), ORBIT- AF I (n=10,132), and ORBIT- AF II (n=11,602) registries were compared (overall N=73,004 from 35 countries). We aimed to provide comprehensive data on international patterns of AF stroke prevention treatment.
