Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin 100mg daily (recommended dose) is better than aspirin alone (100mg daily recommended dose) for preventing vascular events such as stroke and heart attack during approximately three years of follow-up in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major risk factor of vascular event such as elderly, blood pressure increase, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack or left ventricular dysfunction etc. The study will also accept patients with atrial fibrillation and unwilling to take oral anticoagulant therapy.

Primary Outcome

The primary event is the first occurence of any adjudicated component of the following cluster over the duration of follow-up : * stroke (nonfatal or fatal) * myocardial infarction (nonfatal or fatal) * non-CNS systemic embolism * vascular death The primary efficacy analysis is performed on the time from randomization to this primary event. Numbers of patients with the composite event over the duration of the follow-up are presented by arm group.
