Hello, can any tell me what your chances of having a stroke are while taking Apixaban please? Mum is taking for AF and I just want to put my mind at rest as I have read how AF can increase risk of stroke. For the record she is 72, high BP. Thank you

Hi Plainjane
It's around twice normal, as opposed to 5 times normal without the anti-coagulant, it's the most important drug she can take.
Be well

If you scroll back to a post 3 days ago you will see Steve's link to Dr Sanjay Gupta's video about strokes and AF. There are other videos by this excellent Cardiologist which will be of interest to you.
