Abstract in Portuguese
Objetivo: Avaliar o uso de antitrombóticos em pacientes com fibrilação atrial (FA) em hospital cardiológico no Brasil (InCor).Métodos e resultados: Um estudo observacional transversal analisou os prontuários de todos os pacientes atendidos no InCor em cada um de 5 dias separados no ano de 2002 (Fase 1), sendo prospectivamente reanalisados após 1 ano (Fase 2). A prevalência da FA nos 3764 prontuários analisados foi de 8%. Antiplaquetários foram prescritos para 21,26% e 19,93%, anticoagulantes para 46,51% e 57,81%, e 32,23% e 22,26% não usavam nenhum antitrombótico nas Fases 1 e 2, respectivamente. Somente 15,60% e 23,25% apresentavam níveis de RNI terapêuticos.Conclusão: A anticoagulação é subutilizada nos pacientes com FA apesar do fato de serem tratados por cardiologistas em um hospital universitário

Abstract in English
Objective: To assess antithrombotic therapy among atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in a Brazilian University Heart Hospital (InCor).Methods and results: A cross sectional study analyzed the charts of all patients treated at InCor in 5 separate days of 2002 (Phase 1), and prospectively reviewed them after one year (Phase 2). The prevalence of AF in the 3,764 assessed charts was of 8.0%. Antiplatelets were prescribed to 21.26% and 19.93%, anticoagulants to 46.51% and 57.81%, and 32.23% and 22.26% were not receiving any antithrombotic in Phases 1 and 2, respectively. Only 15.60% and 23.25% were within INR therapeutic range.Conclusion: Anticoagulation is underused in AF patients besides the fact of being treated by cardiologists in a University Hospital
