TL;DR: This expert consensus statement task force was set down to raise awareness of using the right risk assessment tool for a given outcome in a given population, and to provide physicians with practical proposals that may lead to rational and evidence-based risk assessment and improvement of patient care in this regard.

Adherence to oral anticoagulants among patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
Shahrzad Salmasi,Peter Loewen,Rachel Tandun,Jason G. Andrade,Jason G. Andrade,Mary A. De Vera +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that up to 30% of patients with AF are non-adherent, suggesting an important therapeutic challenge in this patient population, and higher medical costs compared with patients with poor adherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term detection of atrial fibrillation with insertable cardiac monitors in a real-world cryptogenic stroke population.
Paul D. Ziegler,John D. Rogers,Scott W Ferreira,Allan J. Nichols,Mark Richards,Jodi Koehler,Shantanu Sarkar +6 more
TL;DR: AF episodes were detected via continuous monitoring with ICMs in approximately 1 of every 5 CS patients within 2years of follow-up, suggesting ICMs should be considered in the evaluation of CS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage risk prediction in patients with atrial fibrillation: Attention to modifiable bleeding risk factors or use of a bleeding risk stratification score? A nationwide cohort study.
Tze Fan Chao,Tze Fan Chao,Gregory Y.H. Lip,Gregory Y.H. Lip,Yenn Jiang Lin,Yenn Jiang Lin,Shih Lin Chang,Shih Lin Chang,Li Wei Lo,Li Wei Lo,Yu Feng Hu,Yu Feng Hu,Ta Chuan Tuan,Ta Chuan Tuan,Jo Nan Liao,Jo Nan Liao,Fa Po Chung,Fa Po Chung,Tzeng Ji Chen,Shih Ann Chen,Shih Ann Chen +20 more
TL;DR: All contemporary bleeding risk scores had modest predictive value for predicting major bleeding but the best predictive value and NRI was found for the HAS-BLED score.

TL;DR: This document defines six domains of AF care (patient assessment, anticoagulation, rate control, rhythm control, risk factor management, and outcomes), and provides 17 main and 17 secondary QIs for the diagnosis and management of AF.

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.

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.
