A New Landscape for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation
Stroke 42:3316-3322, Banerjee, A.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Novel anticoagulant and arrhythmic agents are changing treatment guidelines and choices available to both patients and clinicians for stroke prevention in AF, but bring new considerations and long-term data are required, because most patients will require lifelong therapy. Future research must incorporate patient values and preferences, because novel therapies can potentially give very different treatment options, which must be explained for patients to make informed choices.
