Stroke Prevention for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Values and Preferences of Canadian Emergency Medicine Trainees
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common serious cardiac arrhythmia and it is associated with a five-fold increase in the risk of ischemic stroke[1–3]. This risk can be reduced by up to 64% with oral anticoagulation (OAC)[4]. Many patients are first diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) in the context of visit to the emergency department (ED) and AF can account for 1% or more of ED visits[5–7]. Clinical risk stratification for stroke and bleeding and subsequent prescription of OAC are the cornerstones of management of AF.

A new clinical decision support tool for improving the adequacy of anticoagulant therapy and reducing the incidence of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: A randomized clinical trial in primary care
This study protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee of Clinical Investigation of the Institut Universitari d’Investigació en Atenció Primària Jordi Gol (code P17/091). Articles will be published in scientific journals.Trial registration:Clinical-Trials.gov: NCT03367325. Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and increases the risk of ischemic stroke 4 to 5-fold. The first choice of anticoagulant therapy (AT) is the vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Contraindication to VKA or poor control of the International Normalized Ratio leads to the administration of direct-acting oral an...

Atrial Fibrillation in Africa—An Underreported and Unrecognized Risk Factor for Stroke: A Systematic Review
Publication date: Available online 15 May 2019Source: Global HeartAuthor(s): Maartje S. Jacobs, Marinus van Hulst, Abiodun M. Adeoye, Robert G. Tieleman, Maarten J. Postma, Mayowa O. OwolabiAbstractOver three-quarters of deaths from cardiovascular disease and diabetes occur in low- and middle-income countries, which include many African countries. Global studies showed that the prevalence of the cardiac arrhythmia atrial fibrillation (AF) appeared to be lower in Africa. A systematic search of PubMed and African Journals Online was conducted to determine the prevalence of AF and associated stroke risk factors in Africa and ...

Residual Shunt after Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: Preliminary Results from Italian Patent Foramen Ovale Survey
Conclusions: PFO closure is a safe procedure. rRLS is not uncommon but large rRLS is rare. Clinical complications, mostly related to cardiac arrhythmias, are not unusual. Evaluation of the data of the whole survey is underway.

Postictal bradyarrhythmia following an isolated seizure in a patient with left hemisphere stroke
Sudden death contributes significantly to mortality in patients with refractory epilepsy and acute stroke. Presently, our field has only a rudimentary understanding of the pathophysiology underlying these phenomena, and proposed substrates include lethal centrally mediated cardiac arrhythmias.

Suboptimal Anticoagulant Management in Japanese Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Warfarin for Stroke Prevention
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with increasing prevalence in Japan. Although prothrombin time –international normalized ratio (PT-INR) targets for monitoring warfarin therapy in patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF) are well defined, real-world patient characteristics and PT-INR levels remain unknown among Japanese patients with NVAF who initiate and continue warfarin (warfarin maintainers) versus those who switch from warfarin to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs; warfarin switchers).
