prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation
"I have afib and have had multiple cardioversions, ablation, and antiarrythmic drugs and cannot stay in sinus rhythm.  I was on coumadin for a while but had large swings in INR despite frequent monitoring and no change in diet.  I have been on Eliquis for 3 years and have had no bleeding or side effects.  Other than the fact that it is expensive and must be dosed twice daily, I have no complaints whatsoever."
