Management of anticoagulation for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation

UpToDate Pathways have been developed for use at the point of care to guide clinicians when managing a patient with a specific problem. Using these dynamic workflow tools, the clinician inputs patient-specific data and, through a series of key decision notes, is stepped through a pathway leading to optimal management of a specific patient.

In each UpToDate Pathways podcast, an UpToDate clinical expert will discuss some of the challenges medical professionals face when making decisions around care management for a patient with a specific problem.
