Hi, i am deciding on using oral anticoagulants. My father has a HAsBLED score of 2 and a CHADS2 score of 2. He is 75 with AF. Not sure if adding OA, he is already on aspirin, overall adds benefit for stroke prevention, given the increased risk of bleeds. Any advice would be very much appreciated, also let me know if I should send add info- thanks!
Hello. In many guidelines for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, with a single point of chad is recommended to take anticoagulants better than AAS.Also, a score 2 of hassled indicates that the risk of bleeding is not high. In my opinion, oral anticoagulants can be taken for treating atrial fibrillation(fa)of your father(replacing to AAS)decreasing stroke risk. Please consult your cardiologist to prescription wish you good health. If the answer has helped you, please indicate this.
