Journal ArticleDOI
Refining clinical risk stratification for predicting stroke and thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation using a novel risk factor-based approach: the euro heart survey on atrial fibrillation.
TL;DR: In this article, a simple stroke risk stratifi cation schema, based on a risk factor approach, provides some improvement in predictive value for TE over the CHADS 2 schema, with low event rates in low-risk subjects and only a small proportion of subjects into the intermediate-risk category.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel user-friendly score (HAS-BLED) to assess 1-year risk of major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation: the Euro Heart Survey.

TL;DR: This simple, novel bleeding risk score (HAS-BLED) provides a practical tool to assess the individual bleeding risk of real-world patients withAF, potentially supporting clinical decision making regarding antithrombotic therapy in patients with AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression From Paroxysmal to Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Clinical Correlates and Prognosis
Cees B. de Vos,Ron Pisters,Robby Nieuwlaat,Martin H. Prins,Robert G. Tieleman,Robert-Jan S. Coelen,Antonius C. van den Heijkant,Maurits A. Allessie,Harry J.G.M. Crijns +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, clinical correlates of atrial fibrillation (AF) progression and evaluated the prognosis of patients demonstrating AF progression in a large population were investigated and a substantial number of patients progress to sustained AF within 1 year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nurse-led care vs. usual care for patients with atrial fibrillation: results of a randomized trial of integrated chronic care vs. routine clinical care in ambulatory patients with atrial fibrillation
Jeroen M.L. Hendriks,Rianne de Wit,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Hubertus J. M. Vrijhoef,Martin H. Prins,Ron Pisters,Laurent Pison,Yuri Blaauw,Robert G. Tieleman +8 more
TL;DR: Nurse-led care of patients with AF is superior to usual care provided by a cardiologist in terms of cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality.
