Masterclass on Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation

Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation continues to evolve with expanding evidence, newer anticoagulation strategies, and increasingly complex patient profiles. This masterclass brings together leading experts to discuss practical approaches to anticoagulation across challenging clinical scenarios, translating contemporary evidence into everyday practice.

The program will explore post-stroke AF detection in elderly and frail patients, age-stratified bleeding risk, switching DOACs in routine practice, optimization of antithrombotic therapy following PCI in patients with AF, and perioperative anticoagulation management in post-surgical AF. Through evidence-based discussions and real-world case scenarios, participants will gain practical insights to individualize therapy, balance thrombotic and bleeding risks, and improve outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation.

SPAF Masterclass - 2026

This case-based panel discussion will examine the perioperative management of anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation, focusing on the clinical decisions surrounding interruption, bridging, and timely resumption of therapy. Through a real-world case presentation followed by expert deliberation, the faculty will discuss practical, evidence-based approaches to minimizing both thromboembolic and bleeding risks while navigating diverse surgical and procedural settings.
