Blood thinners cut atrial fibrillation risk by 69%

Original: Atrial fibrillation patients saw 69% lower risk with common blood thinners

New research reported by ScienceDaily indicates that atrial fibrillation patients taking common blood thinners, or anticoagulants, saw a 69% lower risk of a serious outcome compared with those not taking the medication. The finding reinforces existing guidance that anticoagulation significantly reduces danger for people with the heart rhythm condition.

Why now: The large risk reduction reported in the study is striking news for patients and doctors managing atrial fibrillation.
