Recent data and perspectives of antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are highlighted. The main statements of current Russian and international guidelines about thromboembolic events prevention in AF patients are presented. Special attention paid to new agents for oral anticoagulation therapy , last information about their efficacy , safety and potential of application.

Освещены современные данные и перспективы антитромботической терапии у больных фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП). Приведены данные последних отечественных и зарубежных рекомендаций по профилактике тромбоэмболических осложнений при ФП. Отдельно рассмотрены новые препараты для проведения оральной антикоагулянтной терапии, представлены сведения об их эффективности, безопасности и возможностях использования.
