One-year clinical outcome of patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Insights from KERALA-AF registry
CONCLUSIONS: Despite high risk profile of patients in this registry, use of OAC was suboptimal, whereas antiplatelets were used in nearly half of patients. A relatively high rate of annual mortality and hospitalization was observed in patients with NVAF in Kerala AF Registry.PMID:33714410 | PMC:PMC7961260 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2020.11.152

Concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
AbstractThe Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study (LAAOS III) was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial that included patients undergoing cardiac surgery who also had atrial fibrillation. The trial recruited 4811 participants, of which 2400 patients were randomized to undergo left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion surgery, while 2411 participants had isolated cardiac surgery. The aim of the study was to determine whether concomitant occlusion of the LAA prevents ischemic stroke or systemic embolism. The study also evaluated the efficacy and safety of concomitant LAA occlusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The...

Incidence, predictors, and outcome for post-operative atrial fibrillation in Indian patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting —a prospective observational study
ConclusionsIn our study, the incidence of POAF was much lower (7.94%) than that reported previously. POAF significantly increased adverse outcomes and length of hospital stay. Both EuroSCORE II and STS scores had similar discriminating power in predicting POAF.

Early and midterm outcomes after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery
ConclusionOPCAB can safely be performed with satisfactory short and mid-term outcomes. Further corroborative studies from different regions of the country or a multi-center study will help to establish the suitability of the technique in Indian patients.

Position statement from the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, Cardiological Society of India, Indian Academy of Neurology and Vascular Society of India on gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic procedures in patients on antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy
AbstractAntiplatelet and/or anticoagulant agents (collectively known as antithrombotic agents) are used to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with conditions such as atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndrome, recurrent stroke prevention, deep vein thrombosis, hypercoagulable states and endoprostheses. Antithrombotic-associated gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is an increasing burden due to the growing population of advanced age with multiple comorbidities and the expanding indications for the use of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants. GI bleeding in antithrombotic users is associated with an increase...
