Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation After Coronary Stenting in Patients Receiving Oral Anticoagulation
CONCLUSION: After coronary stent implantation, dual therapy with a NOAC and a P2Y12 inhibitor is recommended, subsequent to triple therapy given only during the peri-interventional period.PMID:33637173 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2021.0150

Vitamin K antagonists in heart disease: Current status and perspectives (Section III). Position Paper of the ESC Working Group on Thrombosis - Task Force on Anticoagulants in Heart Disease.
Abstract Oral anticoagulants are a mainstay of cardiovascular therapy, and for over 60 years vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) were the only available agents for long-term use. VKAs interfere with the cyclic inter-conversion of vitamin K and its 2,3 epoxide, thus inhibiting γ-carboxylation of glutamate residues at the amino-termini of vitamin K-dependent proteins, including the coagulation factors (F) II (prothrombin), VII, IX and X, as well as of the anticoagulant proteins C, S and Z. The overall effect of such interference is a dose-dependent anticoagulant effect, which has been therapeutically exploited in heart di...

Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant treatment in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent sustained arrhythmia. Overall prevalence is estimated to 5.5% and the incidence increases with age. As the population ages, the prevalence and costs of AF are expected to increase. AF is the most important cause of stroke in patients>75years. Until recently, Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) were the only available oral anticoagulants (OACs) evaluated for long-term treatment of patients with AF with or without coronary heart disease (CHD). This situation was challenged by introduction of non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs).

Updated European Heart Rhythm Association practical guide on the use of non-vitamin-K antagonist anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Executive summary
AbstractIn 2013, the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) published a Practical Guide on the use of non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) (Heidbuchel H, Verhamme P, Alings M, Antz M, Hacke W, Oldgren J, Sinnaeve P, Camm AJ, Kirchhof P, European Heart Rhythm A.

Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants for hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence that antiplatelet therapy modifies mortality in patients with elevated BP for primary prevention. ASA reduced the risk of cardiovascular events and increased the risk of major bleeding events. Antiplatelet therapy with ASA probably reduces the risk of non-fatal and all cardiovascular events when compared to clopidogrel. Clopidogrel increases the risk of major bleeding events compared to ASA in patients with elevated BP for secondary prevention. There is no evidence that warfarin modifies mortality in patients with elevated BP for secondary prevention. The benefits and harms of the newer dr...

Therapeutic effect of antithrombotic drug combinations in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: DAT with NOACs has a higher safety profile against bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after PCI. DAT with VKAs was similar to TAT in terms of antithrombotic effect and incidence of bleeding.PMID:36628223 | PMC:PMC9827321
