    Posted 11 days ago

    Hello, this message is regarding the above pathway as this is a pathway for the management of AF duration> 48 hours. This pathway forgets to mention the need for screening echocardiography to rule out valvular heart disease before starting NOACs as then anticoagulation of choice would be VKAs.
