flag A major study finds many atrial fibrillation patients can safely stop blood thinners after successful ablation.

flag A major international study published in the New England Journal of Medicine finds that many atrial fibrillation patients who undergo successful ablation may safely stop long-term blood thinners. flag Involving over 1,200 patients across 50+ centers in Canada, Europe, China, and Australia, the trial compared rivaroxaban to low-dose aspirin after ablation. flag After three years, stroke and embolism rates were similar in both groups, with brain MRIs showing very low silent stroke rates—96% of patients had no signs. flag Researchers say the risk of bleeding from blood thinners now outweighs benefits for many, potentially leading to a shift in global treatment guidelines.
