简要总结
To investigate the efficacy and safety of hirudin plus aspirin therapy compared with warfarin in the secondary prevention of cardioembolic stroke due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
详细描述
For the patients with cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation,guidelines recommended warfarin as the secondary prevention therapy. But warfarin has its disadvantages such as risk of bleeding and the requirement of frequent INR monitoring. The underuse of warfarin is a prominent problem in China. In our study, patients with cardioembolic stroke were treated with hirudin plus aspirin or warfarin. The aim of our study was to compare efficacy and safety of hirudin plus aspirin and warfarin in secondary prevention of cardioembolic stroke due to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

研究组 & 干预措施
hirudin plus aspirin
14 days after stroke onset, patients in the hirudin plus aspirin group received natural hirudin 0.75g, three times a day and aspirin 100mg, once daily.
干预措施: hirudin plus aspirin (Drug)
Warfarin
14 days after stroke onset, patients in warfarin group were given an initial dose of 1.25mg of warfarin,once daily. 3 days later, INR of patients was checked every three days and the dose of warfarin was adjusted until reach the target range of 2 to 3. Since then INR monitoring was performed at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after stroke onset, targeting an INR between 2 and 3 and the dose of warfarin was adjusted accordingly.
干预措施: Warfarin (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Efficacy outcome event: the recurrence of cardioembolic stroke
时间窗: One year after stroke onset
To compare the recurrence of cardioembolic stroke in hirudin plus aspirin group and the warfarin group.
