New study checks blood thinner levels in elderly heart patients

NCT ID NCT02894450

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 70 people aged 75 and older with atrial fibrillation who were taking a Xaban blood thinner (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban) during an unplanned hospital stay. Researchers wanted to see if certain clinical or lab factors were linked to higher drug levels in the blood. The goal was to better understand how these medications behave in older patients, not to test a new treatment.
