I'm in AF for the 3rd time since last Fri night. Went to hospital early hours Saturday. I also have blood pressure. I've had cardioversion twice, the last one in 2011 before that 2007. I'm gutted it's back as i do a lot of hill walking which i'm now not able to do. Can you give me some info on the different anticoagulants. I've had warfarin in the past but a dr mention in A&E on Saturday a different one!!! Can't remember what it was called but you didn't have to have regular blood test.

Hi there Jonesi. Sorry to hear about AF returning. I'm sure people with more knowledge than I have will fill you in on anticoagulation. I think it would be a help to know if you are under 65.

There are now several NOACs,( novel oral anticoagulants) which are available and do not require regular testing although they do not have anti dotes as yet. . Please look at the main AF-A website and read the relevant fact sheet.
