Abstract

Triflusal (Aflen, Disgren, Tecnosal, Triflux) is a novel platelet antiaggregant with structural similarities to salicylates, but which is not derived from aspirin. It has similar efficacy to aspirin in patients with cerebral or myocardial infarction, but has a reduced risk of haemorrhagic complications. In addition, triflusal plus moderate-intensity anticoagulation has demonstrated efficacy when used as thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation. As such, triflusal has a role in the primary prevention of cerebrovascular events in atrial fibrillation, and for the secondary prevention of cerebral and myocardial infarction, primarily as an alternative to aspirin in patients for whom aspirin is unsuitable.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
