Low-dose edoxaban beneficial in older AF patients with extremely low body weight

26 Jan 2024 by

In the treatment of older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who are considered ineligible for oral anticoagulants at the recommended therapeutic strength or the approved doses, the use of low-dose edoxaban helps reduce the risk of stroke or systemic embolism regardless of body weight, although this benefit comes with a slightly higher major bleeding events, according to the subgroup analysis of the phase III ELDERCARE‐AF trial.
