TL;DR: The content of these European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines has been published for personal and educational use only and no commercial use is authorized.

TL;DR: In this article, a footnote has also been added to state: "Edoxaban should be used in patients with high creatinine clearance only after a careful evaluation of the individual thromboembolic and bleeding risk."

TL;DR: Female subjects were older and more symptomatic, compared with males, and were more likely to receive rate control, and also, female patients were at higher stroke risk overall, but oral anticoagulation was used in a high proportion of patients.

TL;DR: Although the uptake of oral anticoagulation (mostly vitamin K antagonist therapy) has improved since the Euro Heart Survey a decade ago, antiplatelet therapy is still commonly prescribed, with or without oral antICOagulation, whereas elderly patients are commonly undertreated with oral anticaagulation.

TL;DR: The present document covers the antithrombotic management during different ablation procedures, implantation or exchange of cardiac implantable electronical devices (CIEDs), as well as the management of peri-interventional bleeding complications.
