Antikoagulation nach Kardioversion

Die Kardioversion von Vorhofflimmern bzw. Vorhofflattern ist ein klinischer Sonderfall, da das Risiko eines ischämischen Schlaganfalls bzw. thromboembolischer Ereignisse dabei erhöht ist. In diesem Beitrag werden – basierend auf der aktuellen Empfehlungslage – wesentliche Aspekte der Antikoagulation im Rahmen der Kardioversion praxisrelevant beleuchtet.
