Session Description:

Welcome to the Daiichi Sankyo Europe Virtual Satellite Symposium on Stroke in AF patients: latest insights on acute management and prevention, chaired by Professor Rónán Collins. We are delighted to present:

• Stroke management in AF patients: a neurologist’s perspective on the latest key clinical data and guideline recommendations - Ana Catarina Fonseca

• Stroke prevention in elderly and frail AF patients: a cardiologist’s perspective on real world evidence - Ameet Bakhai

• Learnings from complex cases - anticoagulation in AF patients with previous haemorrhagic stroke - Florian Masuhr

• Followed by a lively and engaging panel discussion

The objectives of this session are:

• To address the latest updates and key recommendations for anticoagulation management of AF patients with prior stroke

• To evaluate latest clinical evidence from routine practice about risks and benefits of anticoagulation for (secondary) long-term stroke prevention in elderly, co-morbid and frail AF patients, also including stroke risk categories

• To gather insights from complex patient cases when addressing uncertainties in anticoagulating co-morbid AF patients with a prior ICH

We hope you enjoy our session!
