Block 6 (40) Cardiovascular System Qs by thienle091102 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

An elderly man presents with worsening fatigue and an irregular heart rate, consistent with atrial fibrillation (AF). The best treatment to prevent long-term complications in this patient is anticoagulation, such as warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants, particularly due to his moderate to high risk of thromboembolic events as indicated by a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2. Other antihypertensive medications do not specifically address the management of AF.
