Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the authors correctly used multivariate analysis for the adjusted incidence of clinical events in their report, but they put aspirin therapy forward as the reference treatment (Figure 4A and B10), where warfarin is the standard of care in atrial fibrillation whether patients have been stented. [...]in each patient on warfarin, the indication for dual antiplatelet therapy should be judged at the moment of decision for stent implantation.
