INGELHEIM, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Non-US/Non-UK/Non-Canadian Media: New data presented today indicate that kidney function decline is less pronounced in patients with an irregular heartbeat (non-valvular atrial fibrillation, NVAF) who are treated with Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) compared to warfarin.1 A natural decline in kidney function is expected as part of the ageing process or as a result of other underlying diseases.2 New data support that long-term Pradaxa® treatment compares favourably to warfarin in terms of kidney function decline over time.1 The new RE-LY® study sub-analysis findings were presented today at a Clinical Trial Update Hot Line session during the ESC Congress 2014 organised by the European Society of Cardiology in Barcelona.1
