Overview

In this virtual roundtable, our expert panel reflect on the clinical trials and real world data supporting the use of NOACs in atrial fibrillation – almost ten years since they entered the clinic.

Moderated by Prof John Eikelboom, the panel offer their analyses via a series of presentations and discussions covering a range of topics, with a special focus on their use in Japan.

This activity has been supported via an educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim

  • Select appropriate treatment strategies with NOACs in atrial fibrillation patients in need of further ablation or intervention
  • Review the reversal options open to individuals experiencing a bleeding event whilst on treatment with a NOAC
