Timing of DOAC initiation in nonvalvular AF patients does not influence outcomes
The timing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) administration, either within 3 days or ≥4 days of stroke onset, in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) does not alter the risk of adverse outcomes such as stroke or systemic embolism, major bleeding, and death, as shown in a recent study.
