‘1-2-3-4-day rule’: Initiating DOACs according to stroke severity may be the way to go

23 May 2022 by

Following nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-associated stroke events, a graded increase in delay in direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) initiation of between 1 and 4 days, depending on the severity of the index event, appears to be effective for recurrent stroke prevention and does not compromise safety both in Asians and Europeans, according to a recent study.
