One-Year Clinical Outcome in Middle Eastern Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Jordan Atrial Fibrillation (JoFib) Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study of Middle Eastern AF patients has reported high adherence to OACs. The use of OACs was associated with a lower risk for all-cause mortality. One-year rates of stroke and major bleeding events were comparable to those reported from other regions in the world.PMID:35462945 | PMC:PMC9020983 | DOI:10.1155/2022/4240999

Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure
This article explores the relationship between AF and HF and the thromboembolic effect of these diseases. Morbidity and mortality are increased when the 2 conditions are seen together. Stroke risks are significant with AF and all subtypes of HF. This article suggests that all patients with AF and HF should be considered for anticoagulation. Current evidence suggests that non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants are effective and safe in AF and HF in comparison with warfarin.

The management of anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation and history of falls or risk of falls: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
DiscussionThis review will be the first to summarize direct and indirect evidence on the safety and efficacy of anticoagulant treatments in atrial fibrillation patients at risk of falls or with a history of falls. The findings will be important to patients, clinicians, and health policy-makers to inform best practices in the use of these treatments.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO registry number:CRD42020201086

Oral Anticoagulant Use for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation with Concomitant Anemia and/or Thrombocytopenia
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, which is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, heart failure and mortality.1 Previous studies in atrial fibrillation patients have reported that abnormal hemoglobin and platelet counts may be associated with adverse events. However, these studies that specifically examined the associations between hemoglobin and platelet levels and adverse outcomes reported conflicting data.2-5 Although warfarin effectively reduces the risk of ischemic stroke by 64% compared to placebo/control,6 and non-vitamin K antagonist oral antico...
