Oral Medicine
Patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation are at high risk for pulmonary embolism due to venous thrombosis and intra-cardiac thrombus formation. The primary prevention strategy for these patients is anticoagulation therapy with warfarin, as it reduces the risk of thrombus formation and embolization. Warfarin is effective in preventing stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and is also beneficial in the context of heart failure.
