Stroke and bleeding with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant or warfarin treatment in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a population-based cohort study

TL;DR: This population-based cohort study of routine care indicates similar or better effectiveness and safety with NOAC compared with warfarin treatment, and NOAC was associated with fewer intracranial bleeds, but more gastrointestinal bleeds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial fibrillation type and renal dysfunction as important predictors of left atrial thrombus

TL;DR: Two variables not included in the CHA2DS2-VASc score (AF type and renal dysfunction) proved strong, independent predictors of LAA thrombus and might improve thromboembolic risk stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing Bleeding Risk Assessment Focused on Modifiable Risk Factors Only Versus Validated Bleeding Risk Scores in Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: Relying on bleeding risk assessment using modifiable bleeding risk factors alone is an inferior strategy for predicting atrial fibrillation patients for major bleeding and decision curve analysis clearly shows that HAS-BLED had better net benefit of predicting major bleeding compared with the European score.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opportunistic screening versus usual care for detection of atrial fibrillation in primary care: cluster randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Opportunistic screening for atrial fibrillation in primary care patients, aged 65 and over, did not increase the detection rate of atrialfibrillation, which implies that opportunistic screening is not useful in this setting.

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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

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.
