Abstract

Aim. To analyze clinical specifics of the Russian population of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients participating in the 2nd phase of international registry Gloria AF.Material and methods. The data on clinical characteristics presented, of the Russian population of atrial fibrillation patients, gathered in the second phase of Gloria AF study.
