ASA
Introduction to ASA
• One of the most widely used drugs of the 20th century1
• Taken by millions of patients worldwide for the treatment and
prevention of CVD, and is the most widely tested antiplatelet drug1
• Has been (and is still) used for stroke prevention in AF1,2
Traditionally considered a safe, but less effective, alternative to VKAs when
anticoagulation is contraindicated, or for use in patients at low risk of stroke1,2
However, this is not consistent with the latest treatment guidelines2
ASA = acetylsalicylic acid; CVD = cardiovascular disease; VKA = vitamin K antagonist

ASA Conclusions
➢Antiplatelet therapy should be considered only when patients
refuse any OAC, or cannot tolerate OAC for reasons unrelated
to bleeding
➢In the real world, antiplatelet therapy is still commonly
for stroke prevention in AF
prescribed
➢Compared with ASA, NOAs (apixaban) significantly reduced the
relative risk of stroke or systemic embolism by 55% while the risk
of major bleeding was not significantly increased
➢The evidence demonstrated that oral anticoagulation should be the
preferred option in NVAF patients at risk of stroke

Warfarin Conclusions
➢Warfarin will continue to be used in patients with mecanical prosthetic
heart valve and patients with rheumatic valve disease
➢Warfarin will continue to be used in patients with severe renal failure
➢Warfarin will continue to be used in patients with drug-drug
interactions
➢NOAs should be considered rather than adjusted-dose VKA for most
patietns with NVAF, based on their net clinical benefit
Assume that NAOs have been on the market for 5 year
➢A new drug comes to the market. Compared to NAOs, the new drug
has:
- cheaper
- antidote
- requirement for monthly monitoring to adjust dose
- many food and drug interactions
- 25% increased relative risk of stroke/systemic embolism
- nearly 50% increased relative risk of major bleeding
- approx. 2.5 times the rate of ICH
- 10% increased relative risk of mortality
➢Would Warfarin be approved by regulatory authorities now?
