  ABSTRACT: In this review article we analyze the historical evolution of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies in the treatment of atrial fibrillation plus complicated heart diseases. Its combined use, compared with anticoagulation alone, has been widely used to significantly reduce thromboembolic risk. Major bleeding risk has been usually registered during combined antithrombotic therapy, which is mainly due to gastric bleeding, but enteric coating antiplatelet tablets can effectively protect against gastric mucosal damage, and the addition of proton-pump inhibitors (omeprazole) can avoid it.
