Underuse of Oral Anticoagulants and Inappropriate Prescription of Antiplatelet Therapy in Older Inpatients with Atrial Fibrillation
Lorette Averlant,Grégoire Ficheur,Laurie Ferret,Stéphane Boulé,François Puisieux,Michel Luyckx,Julien Soula,Alexandre Georges,Régis Beuscart,Emmanuel Chazard,Jean-Baptiste Beuscart +10 more
TL;DR: The underuse of OAC is associated with the prescription of APT in older patients with AF, regardless of the presence or absence of known atheromatous disease, and it is suggested that APT is often inappropriately prescribed instead of Oac.

TL;DR: While warfarin remained the agent of choice for mechanical valve implantation, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants may have a role in RHD-related AF, particularly with valvular regurgitation.

TL;DR: A joint national effort is needed to decrease hypertension-related morbidity and mortality in Austria and to increase the rate of patients with controlled blood pressure and to decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of ischemic stroke and utility of CHA2DS2-VASc score in women and men with atrial fibrillation
TL;DR: The magnitude of increased risk of stroke in women with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain and further research is needed to determine the cause of increase in risk.

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.

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.

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.
