Rates of anticoagulation among younger versus older patients
The lowest anticoagulation rates for AF episodes of significant duration were seen in older patients, aged 75 or above. Of these patients with an AF episode of between 6 and 24 h in duration, 64.0% were anticoagulated. In patients aged ≥ 75 years with a CRT device in situ, the anticoagulation rate for an AF episode between 6 and 24 h was even lower, at 57.6%, despite a minimum CHALower anticoagulation rates in older patients, with higher CHA
