Adjusted-dose warfarin versus low-intensity, fixed-dose warfarin plus aspirin for high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation: Stroke prevention in Atrial Fibrillation III Randomised Clinical Trial

Joseph L. Blackshear, +155 more
- 07 Sep 1996 - 
TL;DR: Low-intensity, fixed-dose warfarin plus aspirin in this regimen is insufficient for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF at high-risk for thromboembolism; adjusted-doseWarfarin (target INR 2.0-3.0) importantly reduces stroke for high- risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The natural history of lone atrial fibrillation. A population-based study over three decades.

TL;DR: It is concluded that lone atrial fibrillation in patients under the age of 60 at diagnosis is associated with a very low risk of stroke, and routine anticoagulation may not be warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Idiopathic Short QT Interval:A New Clinical Syndrome?

TL;DR: This report describes three members of one family demonstrating this ECG phenomenon, associated in the 17-year-old with several episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation requiring electrical cardioversion, and considers the possible arrhythmogenic potential of the short QTI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute Myocardial Infarction and Renal Dysfunction: A High-Risk Combination

TL;DR: Outcomes in patients with acute MI and any degree of renal failure, including end-stage renal disease, were compared to determine whether treatment of these patients differs from that of patients with normal renal function and to determine the extent to which treatment factors explain differences in prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Clinical Trial of a Chest-Pain Observation Unit for Patients with Unstable Angina

TL;DR: A CPU located in the emergency department can be a safe, effective, and cost-saving means of ensuring that patients with unstable angina who are considered to be at intermediate risk for cardiovascular events receive appropriate care.
