Concomitant use of direct oral anticoagulants and interacting antiarrhythmic drugs and the risk of stroke and bleeding among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a multinational cohort study [PDF]
Background Several antiarrhythmic drugs can interact with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) through pharmacokinetic mechanisms increasing DOAC levels. Our multinational cohort study assessed the effectiveness and safety of concomitant use of DOACs and ...
