Drugs in phase I and II clinical development for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2021 Mar 8. doi: 10.1080/13543784.2021.1897786. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia globally and is associated with ischemic stroke and heart failure. Patients with atrial fibrillation are typically prescribed long term anticoagulants in the form of either vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants; however, both carry a potential risk of adverse bleeding.AREAS COVERED: This paper sheds light on emerging anticoagulant agents which target clotting factors XI and XII, or their activated forms...

Clinical outcomes in patients receiving edoxaban or phenprocoumon for prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation: a German real-world cohort study
Appropriate and timely anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or non-vitamin K oral antagonists (NOACs) is essential for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Comparati...

Economic evaluation of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions Our meta-analysis provides comprehensive economic evidence that allows policy makers to generalise cost-effectiveness data to their local context. All DOACs may be cost-effective compared with VKA in HICs with TPP perspective. The pooling results produced moderate to high heterogeneity particularly in UMICs. Further studies are required to inform UMICs with SP. PROSPERO registeration number CRD 42019146610.

Persisting stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation despite proper anticoagulation – Unmet clinical needs
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is crucial to prevent cardioembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Development of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), which inhibit activities of the coagulant proteases thrombin and activated factor X (FXs), has improved the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in AF, compared to traditional vitamin K antagonists like warfarin [1,2]. Yet in a small, but numerically relevant proportion of up to 2% of patients, this cornerstone principle fails for unclear reasons.

Risk of Stroke and Major Bleeding with Vitamin-K Antagonist Use after Mitral Valve Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that VKA after MVr does not reduce risk of cerebral embolic events but is associated with increased risk of major bleeding events.PMID:36223805 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.038

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Prevention for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting around 2% of the population (1,2) and increasing the risk of stroke by 4 to 5 times (3). Anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as Warfarin (4) or the newer Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) (4,5) reduces this risk by up to 60%. AF-related strokes also tend to be more severe and disabling (6).

Integrating Real-World Evidence in Economic Evaluation of Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in a Developing Country
ConclusionsIn a developing country where suboptimal anticoagulation control is common, apixaban was the cost-effective alternative to warfarin for patients with both low and intermediate TTR control.

Drug-drug interactions with direct oral anticoagulants for the prevention of ischemic stroke and embolism in atrial fibrillation: a narrative review of adverse events
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2023 Mar 2. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2023.2187376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: In randomized trials, direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) were non-inferior to the vitamin-K-antagonist (VKA) warfarin in preventing stroke/embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). DOAC are substrates for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. The activity of these enzymes is modulated by several drugs which might induce pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDI). Drugs affecting platelet function have the potential for pharmacodynamic DDI of DOAC.AREAS COVERED: The literature was searched fo...
