Outcomes in elderly Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease. A report from the Optimal Thromboprophylaxis in Elderly Chinese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (ChiOTEAF) registry.

AF patients with CAD were at an increased risk of developing ACS but there was no significant difference in the composite outcome, all cause death, cardiovascular death, thromboembolic events or major bleeding compared to the non-CAD group. OAC use was inversely associated with adverse events, yet their uptake was poor in the AF-CAD population.
