Zusammenfassung

Vorhofflimmern ist die häufigste Herzrhythmusstörung im Alter und eine Hauptursache des ischämischen Schlaganfalls. Zur Schlaganfallprophylaxe sind zuletzt mehrere neue Antikoagulanzien als Alternative zu Vitamin-K-Antagonisten entwickelt und in Phase-3-Studien hinsichtlich Effektivität und Sicherheit untersucht worden. Entscheidend für die klinische Anwendung der neuen Substanzen ist die Identifizierung von Patienten, die vom Einsatz der neuen Substanzen besonders profitieren. Zur Rhythmuskontrolle von Vorhofflimmern gibt es mit Vernakalant und Dronedaron ebenfalls zwei neue Substanzen, deren Effektivität im Vergleich zur etablierten Therapie jedoch noch nachhaltig nachgewiesen werden muss.
