Multinational, investigator-initiated study of oral anticoagulation versus no anticoagulation for the prevention of stroke and other adverse cardiovascular events in patients with transient atrial fibrillation occurring transiently with stress and additional stroke risk factors.
- : 1. have ≥1 episode of clinically important AFOTS during any of the following conditions: 1. noncardiac surgery in the past 35 days, with at least an overnight hospital admission aftersurgery; 2. noncardiac day surgery resulting in a large enough physiological insult to be able to cause AFOTS, as judged by the local investigator; or 3. acute medical illness requiring hospital admission in the past 35 days and resulting in a large enough physiological insult to be able to cause AFOTS, as judged by the local investigator; 2. sinus rhythm at the time of randomization; 3. any of the following high-risk criteria: 1. age 55-64 years, and having either known cardiovascular disease, recent major vascular surgery, a CHA2DS2VASc score ≥3, or an elevated postoperative troponin level; 2. age 65-74 years, and having either known cardiovascular disease, recent major vascular surgery, a CHA2DS2VASc score ≥2, or an elevated postoperative troponin level; OR 3. age ≥75 years.; 4. provide written informed consent
