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!
Clopidogrel is stronger than Aspirin so more protection seems to have worked. I have heart disease and had 2 strokes while on Asprin so there you go fingers crossed protected more now.
