In this second episode of a three-part series on atrial fibrillation (AF), host Dr Tim Koh and Dr Ben King - Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at Advara HeartCare, focus on medical management. They discuss stroke prevention, highlighting the criteria for anticoagulant use and the advantages of newer oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over warfarin.
