                            *AF + Stable CAD: OAC Alone or with SAPT? 🤔*
📌 Meta-analysis (4 RCTs, 4,092 patients) compared OAC monotherapy vs OAC + SAPT in patients with AF + stable CAD.
*💡 Key Findings:*
 • No significant difference in ischaemic events (MI, stroke, embolism, death).
 • OAC monotherapy significantly reduced major bleeding (3.3% vs 5.7%).
 • Greater bleeding reduction in men & diabetics.
*🩺 Clinical Takeaway:*
🔹 OAC monotherapy may be a safer long-term strategy in AF + stable CAD.
