Summary

Current guidelines recommend standard warfarin anticoagulation international normalized ratio (INR) goal of 2.0-3.0 in adults with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The investigators hypothesized that low-intensity warfarin (INR 1.5-2.0) has the same effectiveness and better security in elderly patients (>75) with NVAF.
