Venous Thromboembolism Research Priorities: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
rsing; Council on Clinical Cardiology; Council on Epidemiology and Prevention; and the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Abstract Venous thromboembolism is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The impact of the US Surgeon General's The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in 2008 has been lower than expected given the public health impact of this disease. This scientific statement highlights future research priorities in venous thromboembolism, developed by experts and a crowdsourcing survey across 16 scientific organizations. At the fundame...

Stroke Risk Stratification in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Comme Ci, Comme Ça, Plus Ça Change… ∗
There has been a huge increase in academic interest in atrial fibrillation (AF) and particularly its major complication: thromboembolism. This sustained flurry of activity is fueled by the development of better thromboprophylaxis with well-controlled vitamin K antagonist (VKA) anticoagulation rather than antiplatelet therapy or poorly controlled management with VKAs. The emergence of new therapies, such as non-VKA oral anticoagulant agents and left atrial appendage occlusion devices with better net clinical benefit (less strokes, fewer intracranial or life-threatening bleeds, and reduced mortality) than with warfarin or as...
