Gastrointestinal Bleeding With Edoxaban Versus Warfarin: Results From the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 Trial (Effective Anticoagulation With Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) [Original Articles]
Conclusions: MGIB occurred more frequently with HD-ER than warfarin. The rates of life-threatening or fatal GIB were low and similar with both HD-ER and warfarin. Clinical outcomes were generally favorable. The correlation between dose, trough edoxaban level, and the risk of GIB risk suggests GIB is exposure-related. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00781391. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes)

Clinical Events After Discontinuation of {beta}-Blockers in Patients Without Heart Failure Optimally Treated After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Cohort Study on the French Healthcare Databases [Original Articles]
Conclusions: In routine care of patients without heart failure, revascularized and optimally treated after AMI, discontinuation of β-blockers beyond 1 year after AMI was associated with an increased risk of death or readmission for ACS, while statistical significance was not reached for the association with all-cause mortality. A contemporary randomized clinical trial is needed to precise the role of β-blockers in the long-term treatment after AMI. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes)

Association Between Early Outpatient Visits and Readmissions After Ischemic Stroke [Original Articles]
Conclusions: Thirty-day outpatient follow-up was associated with a small reduction in hospital readmission among elderly patients with stroke discharged home. Further work should assess how outpatient care may be improved to further reduce readmissions. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes)
