Today @JAMACardio published our study on potential risk/benefit of anticoagulation for #AFib pts aged 65-74 yrs w/out other CHADS2Vasc risk factors. This is one of the greatest areas of divergence of @SCC_CCS guidelines from @ACCinTouch @escardio
jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac… This study was prompted by a patient with #afib who challenged me to justify my recommendation to anticoagulate her on her 65th birthday for rest of her life. She asked what her risk of stroke is if she chose not to anticoagulate & if it outweighs bleeding risk.

I did not participate in #BlackOutTuesday . While the spirit underlying it is commendable, I do not think you can enhance your awareness of such a complex and difficult issue by sharing a black screen. Rather, I challenge every person and every institution who made a statement declaring their anti-racism this week to reflect on systematic patterns of how black people and other under-represented minorities are weaved into the fabric of their personal and professional lives.
