Patients with periodontitis are at a higher risk of stroke: A Taiwanese cohort study
CONCLUSION: Therefore, this study suggests a high risk of stroke in patients with periodontitis.PMID:36000972 | DOI:10.1097/JCMA.0000000000000797

Association of changes in cardiovascular health levels with incident cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsImproving CVH levels and maintaining high CVH levels after AF diagnosis is associated with lower risks of subsequent cardiovascular events and mortality.Graphical abstract

Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Hospitalization for Heart Failure in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Atrial Fibrillation
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and high cardiovascular risks. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with T2DM and atrial fibrillation (AF). Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we identified 40,268 patients with T2DM and AF who were newly prescribed oral hypoglycemic drugs ...

New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Is a Risk Factor of Ischemic Stroke in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In conclusion, COPD patients suffering from new-onset AF had an increased incidence of IS in the population observation study. New-onset AF was an omit risk factor for IS in COPD in the Chinese population.PMID:35206997 | DOI:10.3390/healthcare10020381

Single direct oral anticoagulant therapy in stable patients with atrial fibrillation beyond 1 year after coronary stent implantation
Conclusions DOAC monotherapy showed similar efficacy in preventing ischaemic events and was associated with lower major bleeding events compared with combination therapy in patients with AF beyond 1 year after coronary stent implantation.

Continuation or discontinuation of oral anticoagulants after HAS-BLED scores increase in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsFor patients whose HAS-BLED scores increased to  ≥ 3, the continuation of OACs was associated with better clinical outcomes. An increased HAS-BLED score in anticoagulated AF patients may not be the only reason to withhold OACs, but reminds physicians to correct modifiable bleeding risk factors and follow up patients more closely.Graphical abstractAssociations between Continuation or Discontinuation of Oral Anticoagulants and Risks of Clinical Outcomes after HAS-BLED Scores IncreasedAF atrial fibrillation;aHR adjusted hazard ratio;ICH intra-cranial hemorrhage;OACs oral anticoagulants

The risk and timing of acute ischemic stroke after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation in Taiwan: A nationwide population-based cohort study
There is a positive association between electrical cardioversion (ECV) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Although 4  weeks of anticoagulation therapy after ECV in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is generally suggested by current guidelines to reduce the risk of AIS, limited studies have been conducted in Asian populations to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF in recent years. Therefore, we aim to use the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan to determine the risk and timing of AIS after ECV for AF.

Impact of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants on the Change of Antithrombotic Regimens in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSION: Since the introduction of NOACs, the patterns of periprocedural antithrombotic regimens have changed rapidly toward more use of TAT, specifically with NOAC-based regimen. Appropriate stroke prevention with oral anticoagulants is still underutilized in patients with AF undergoing PCI in Korea.PMID:33764010 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2020.0407
