Abstract
Warfarin prophylaxis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation may be one of the most valuable public-health interventions. Barriers to its optimal utilization include wariness about bleeding complicati ons and concern about age-related sensitivity to the drug. The risks, however, may be minimized by creation of anticoagulation clinics to en sure optimal dosing and follow-up.
