The seriousness of heart disease progresses from left to right, and selection of therapy in patients with multiple conditions depends on the most serious condition present.
LVH indicates left ventricular hypertrophy.
Algorithm based on the 20011 ACCF/AHA/HRS updates for the management of atrial fibrillation.[1]


  • Dabigatran may be used as an alternative to warfarin in those wdo don't have: (I B)
  • Prosthetic heart valve
  • Hemodynamically significant valve disease
  • Severe renal failure (creatinine clearance <15 mL/min) or
  • Advanced liver disease (impaired baseline clotting function).
  • If patient on anticoagulants with AF sustains stroke or systemic embolism, target INR may be raised to 3.0 - 3.5 (IIb C).
  • Anticoagulation therapy can be interrupted for upto 1 week, if patients needs a procedure that carries a risk of bleeding (IIa C). For periods > 1 week unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin may be given IV (IIb C).
