Summary

This study tests whether electronic alerts in doctors' computers can increase the use of blood thinners to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). About 2,500 high-risk patients who are not currently on blood thinners will take part. The goal is to see if these alerts help doctors prescribe the right medication and reduce bleeding risks.
