Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia frequently causing systemic thromboembolic events. Traditionally vitamin K antagonists had been used for decades to prevent these events. The emerging of the new direct anticoagulants has revolutionized this treatment and a gradual growth and extensive spread of usage is expected. The latest one approved in Hungary, edoxaban, is a factor Xa inhibitor. Once-daily administration and favourable safety profile are major benefits of this drug. In a large clinical study with a high number of patients it proved to be at least as effective as warfarin in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolization while causing significantly less major bleedings. As the incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age, the observation that, compared with the other direct oral anticoagulants, the administration of edoxaban in the elderly has a favourable net clinical benefit (in the rate of prevented thromboembolic events and the number of caused bleedings) may have a great importance. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(20): 798–802.
