Primary Prevention of Arterial Thromboembolism in Non-Rheumatic Atrial Fibrillation in Primary Care:Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Two Intensities of Coumarin with Aspirin
BMJ 319:958-964, Hellemons,B.S.P.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In a general practice population (without established indications for coumarin) neither low nor standard intensity anticoagulation is better than aspirin in preventing primary outcome events. Aspirin may therefore be the first choice in patients with atrial fibrillation in general practice.
