<p>Background:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing as the global population ages. Elderly AF patients (≥75 years) have a worse prognosis than younger patients, and effective management is often difficult due to multiple comorbidities. This analysis examined the age-related differences in clinical characteristics and treatment in real-world elderly Japanese AF patients.</p><p>Methods and Results:The ANAFIE Registry is a multicenter, prospective, observational registry of 32,726 non-valvular AF patients aged ≥75 years. The present study assessed the age-related differences in baseline clinical status and anticoagulant therapy between age groups 75–<80, 80–<85, 85–<90, and ≥90 years. The prevalence of persistent or permanent AF increased, and that of paroxysmal AF decreased, with increasing age (trend P<0.0001). The risk of stroke, based on CHADS2and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and bleeding, based on HAS-BLED score, increased with age. Both warfarin and apixaban were used more often as age increased (trend P<0.0001, for each), while other anticoagulants were used less. Anticoagulant doses were significantly lower in older patients.</p><p>Conclusions:Permanent/persistent AF, comorbidities, and cardiovascular and bleeding risk all increased significantly with age. Furthermore, use of warfarin and apixaban increased with age, accompanied by a decrease in other oral anticoagulant usage.</p>
