Condition: Atrial Fibrillation + unstable Angina; has bare metal stents; aged 94. Long-term NOAC Apixaban+Aspirin was recommended by hospital Consultant after serious angina attack. Before A+A, prescription was for Clopidogrel+Aspirin. GP stopped A+A and now prescibes only Clopidogrel.
How would this affect risk level for AF / Angina / Stroke? Thanks for any advice!
At your age the risk of anticoagulation would appear higher than not taking it for AF related stroke whilst antiplatelets such as clopidogrel are important regarding your stent.
