Abstract
Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) – direct oral anticoagulants – are getting the ever-broadening use in clinical practice. However, many problems related to optimal use of NOACs in specific clinical situations remain unresolved. European Heart Rhythm Association in April 2018 issued the renovated recommendations on the use of NOACs in patients with atrial fibrillation. The authors of recommendations presented some specific clinical variants for which they formulated practical advices based on the evidence obtained in randomized clinical trials. They also outlined the indications for use of NOACs, formulated practical start-program and scheme of subsequent follow-up management of patients taking NOACs. Recommendations contain information on pharmacokinetics of NOACs and their interactions with other drugs, consideration of feasibility of NOACs use in patients with chronic renal insufficiency or advanced liver disease. Many other practical problems are covered as well.
