Patients ask about the safety of reduced-dose DOACs for fear of bleeding 🩸
➡️Meta-analysis #HeartRhythmO2 reveals higher numerical risk of thromboembolic events during cardioversion for #Afib compared to standard dose.
🔷Safety concerns persist—Despite not reaching statistical significance #EPeeps
Risk of stroke with reduced dose direct oral anticoagulants vs standard dose anticoagulation after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
There is consensus on the safety of standard dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for stroke prevention in patients undergoing cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but outcomes of reduced dose DOACs in this setting remain unclear.

🚩New study #HeartRhythmO2 journal showing➡️patients with syncope + implantable cardiac monitors
-21% (6/28) of deaths were SCD
-5/6 had prior “warning arrhythmias” that might have warranted a pacemaker or ICD
