Heparin in Acute Stroke with Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical Relevance of Very Early Treatment Arch Neurol 56:1098-1102,1059, Chamorro,A.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Delaying anticoagulation in alert patients with stroke and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is not endorsed by the initial severity of symptoms or the early signs of infarction on CT scan. Functional recovery is improved the sooner heparin is administered. These findings suggest that heparin also has therapeutic properties. However, close APTT monitoring is warranted to lessen the incidence of untoward complications.
