CIRC - "Apixaban in Comparison With Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Valvular Heart Disease"

"Apixaban in Comparison With Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Valvular Heart Disease"

"Conclusions
More than a quarter of the patients in ARISTOTLE with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation had moderate or severe valvular heart disease. There was no evidence of a differential effect of apixaban over warfarin in reducing stroke or systemic embolism, causing less bleeding, and reducing death in patients with and without valvular heart disease."
