TLDR
Fewer total and cardiovascular deaths were observed with edoxaban as compared with warfarin in the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial, and this predominantly resulted from the significantly lower rate of major bleeding with Edoxaban.

Causes of Death in Anticoagulated Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: In contemporary AF trials, most deaths were cardiac-related, whereas stroke and bleeding represented only a small subset of deaths, so interventions beyond anticoagulation are needed to further reduce mortality in AF.

Left atrial structure and function and the risk of death or heart failure in atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: The present study aimed to assess the association between left atrial (LA) structure and function and the risk for cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization in a population with atrial fibrillation.

Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, rivaroxaban was noninferior to warfarin for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism and there was no significant between-group difference in the risk of major bleeding, although intracranial and fatal bleeding occurred less frequently in the rivroxaban group.

Validation of Clinical Classification Schemes for Predicting Stroke: Results From the National Registry of Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: The 2 existing classification schemes and especially a new stroke risk index, CHADS, can quantify risk of stroke for patients who have AF and may aid in selection of antithrombotic therapy.

Meta-analysis: Antithrombotic Therapy to Prevent Stroke in Patients Who Have Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: An updated meta-analysis of all currently available randomized trials that extends observations about the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic therapies for preventing stroke in patients who have atrial fibrillation is presented.
