Tariq Ahmad presents our latest case: A 75-year-old woman presents to a general cardiology clinic for the first time. She has a history of atrial fibrillation, sick-sinus syndrome requiring a permanent pacemaker, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. She has no specific complaints other than shortness of breath on exertion. Read the details of this case then tell us: Would you anticoagulate this patient? If so, which agent would you use?
