Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the ‘real world’ prediction of cardiovascular events and major bleeding with the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores using multiple biomarkers
Vanessa Roldán,José Miguel Rivera-Caravaca,Alena Shantsila,Amaya García-Fernández,María Asunción Esteve-Pastor,Juan Antonio Vílchez,Marta Romera,Mariano Valdés,Vicente Vicente,Francisco Marín,Gregory Y.H. Lip +10 more
TL;DR: Addition of biomarkers enhanced the predictive value of CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED, although the overall improvement was modest and the added predictive advantage over original scores was marginal.

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Antonios Douros,Madeleine Durand,Carla M. Doyle,Carla M. Doyle,Sarah Yoon,Sarah Yoon,Pauline Reynier,Kristian B. Filion,Kristian B. Filion +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that while dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban have a similar effect on the risk of ischemic stroke, apxaban may be associated with a decreased risk of major bleeding compared with either dabig atran or rivroxaban.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementation of a Direct Oral Anticoagulation Screening Service at a Large Academic Medical Center Provided by a Pharmacist-managed Antithrombosis Clinic as a Method to Expand Antithrombotic Stewardship Efforts.
TL;DR: Implementation of a DOAC screening service identified and resolved dosing errors, improved medication access, provided patient education, and improved follow-up.

CHA2DS2-VASc Score and Stroke Prediction in Atrial Fibrillation in Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics
Lin Y. Chen,Faye L. Norby,Alanna M. Chamberlain,Richard F. MacLehose,Lindsay G.S. Bengtson,Pamela L. Lutsey,Alvaro Alonso +6 more
TL;DR: The predictive ability of CHA2DS2-VASc for IS or TIA in atrial fibrillation is comparable among whites, blacks, and Hispanics; hence, it can be used in the latter 2 groups and does not improve its predictive ability with addition of race/ethnicity.

Mobile phones in cryptogenic strOke patients Bringing sIngle Lead ECGs for Atrial Fibrillation detection (MOBILE-AF): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Roderick W Treskes,W. Gielen,Marieke J.H. Wermer,Robert W. Grauss,Anouk P. van Alem,Reza Alizadeh Dehnavi,Charles J. H. J. Kirchhof,Enno T. van der Velde,Arie C. Maan,Ron Wolterbeek,Onno M. Overbeek,Martin J. Schalij,Serge A. Trines +12 more
TL;DR: The MOBILE-AF trial will investigate the effectiveness of the ECG device for AF detection in patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA and the percentage of patients in which AF is detected in the first year after the index ischaemic stroke orTIA is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment
Harold P. Adams,Birgitte H. Bendixen,L J Kappelle,José Biller,Betsy B. Love,David Lee Gordon,E. Eugene Marsh +6 more
TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Dabigatran versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation
Stuart J. Connolly,Michael D. Ezekowitz,John W. Eikelboom,Jonas Oldgren,Amit Parekh,Janice Pogue,Paul A. Reilly,Ellison Themeles,Jeanne Varrone,Susan Wang,Marco Alings,Denis Xavier,Jun Zhu,Rafael Diaz,Basil S. Lewis,Harald Darius,Hans-Christoph Diener,Campbell D. Joyner,Lars Wallentin +18 more
TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, dabigatran given at a dose of 110 mg was associated with rates of stroke and systemic embolism that were similar to those associated with warfarin, as well as lower rates of major hemorrhage.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins
Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.

Apixaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Horowitz,Puneet Mohan,Petr Jansky,Basil S. Lewis,Jose Lopez-Sendon,Prem Pais,Alexander Parkhomenko,Jun Zhu,Lars Wallentin +29 more
TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, apixaban was superior to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism, caused less bleeding, and resulted in lower mortality.
