Commentary on Twitter
In this post-hoc study of the AFIRE RCT, recurrent event analyses showed that rivaroxaban monotherapy was associated with lower risks of total thrombotic and/or bleeding events than rivaroxaban plus antiplatelet therapy in patients with AF and stable CAD. https://t.co/TGwatvlrKR
