Learning Objectives: To evaluate the key milestones and innovations for non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in the past 10 year, and outline how these advances can inform treatment choices in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) – To assess the evidence for the safety and efficacy of NOACs from clinical trials and real-world data – To provide practical guidance on anticoagulation decision making to optimize outcomes for a range of patients with AF, including those with challenging comorbidities and additional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.
