I know some of you won't be able to see this article about a trial using Edoxaban, but it is free to join Medscape and a good source of info. It's saying using Edoxaban 2 hours pre cardioversion is as effective as warfarin with bridging and means cardioversion can take place much more quickly than before.

With you on trick or treat. Not keen on ambulance chasing lawyers either.

Not what you're looking for?
