Study Summary

The investigators' central hypothesis is that in patients with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation with Apixaban reduces the rate of decline in cognitive function, when compared to Warfarin. The investigators also hypothesize that Apixaban reduces cognitive decline by reducing the rate of new cerebral infarction and cerebral microbleeds detected by cerebral MRI compared to warfarin.

Primary Outcome

Assess the change in cognitive function using standardized neurocognitive assessment.

Interventions
