Journal ArticleDOI
Bleeding risk assessment and management in atrial fibrillation patients. Executive Summary of a Position Document from the European Heart Rhythm Association [EHRA], endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology [ESC] Working Group on Thrombosis.
Gregory Y.H. Lip,Felicita Andreotti,Laurent Fauchier,Kurt Huber,Elaine M. Hylek,Eve Knight,Deirdre A. Lane,Marcel Levi,Francisco Marín,Gualtiero Palareti,Paulus Kirchhof +10 more
TL;DR: The main aim of the document was to summarise 'best practice' in dealing with bleeding risk in AF patients when approaching antithrombotic therapy, by addressing the epidemiology and size of the problem, and review established bleeding risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updated European Heart Rhythm Association practical guide on the use of non-vitamin-K antagonist anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Executive summary.
Hein Heidbuchel,Peter Verhamme,Marco Alings,Matthias Antz,Hans-Christoph Diener,Werner Hacke,Jonas Oldgren,Peter Sinnaeve,A. John Camm,Paulus Kirchhof,Paulus Kirchhof +10 more
TL;DR: The Update comprises a discussion on the definition of 'non-valvular AF' and eligibility for NOAC therapy, inclusion of finalized information on the recently approved edoxaban, tailored dosing information dependent on concomitant drugs, and/or clinical characteristics, an expanded chapter on neurologic scenarios.

TL;DR: This poster presents a meta-modelling framework that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive and therefore expensive and time-consuming and expensive process of computer programming called “hacking”.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The proceedings of the 3rd Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET)/European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) consensus conference that convened over 60 scientists and representatives from industry to jointly discuss emerging therapeutic and diagnostic improvements to achieve better management of AF patients are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anterior-posterior versus anterior-lateral electrode positions for external cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: a randomised trial
Paulus Kirchhof,Lars Eckardt,Peter Loh,Karoline Weber,Rudolf-Josef Fischer,Karlheinz Seidl,Dirk Böcker,Günter Breithardt,Wilhelm Haverkamp,Martin Borggrefe +9 more
TL;DR: An anterior-posterior electrode position is more effective than the anterior-lateral position for external cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation and should be considered in clinical practice, for the design of defibrillation electrode pads, and when guidelines for cardioversions are updated.
