Stroke and Systemic Thromboembolism according to CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc Score in Contemporary Korean Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Contemporary AF patients have a stroke rate about one-fifth that in OAC-naïve AF patients and exhibit different stroke risk factors.STUDY REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02786095).PMID:35352882 | PMC:PMC8965433 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2022.63.4.317

Long-term stroke and major bleeding risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: A comparative analysis between non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and warfarin using a clinical data warehouse
ConclusionsIn this CDW based study, NOACs are more effective and safer than warfarin in patients with AF even with long-term follow-up. NOACs should be used to prevent ischemic stroke in patients with AF

Practical use of dabigatran etexilate for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
Summary Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, and is the most prevalent factor for cardioembolic stroke. Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been the standard of care for stroke prevention in patients with AF since the early 1990s. They are very effective for the prevention of cardioembolic stroke, but are limited by factors such as drug–drug interactions, food interactions, slow onset and offset of action, haemorrhage and need for routine anticoagulation monitoring to maintain a therapeutic international normalised ratio (INR). Multiple new oral anticoagulants have been develope...

Ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation receiving oral anticoagulation
Abstract: Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of embolic stroke associated to heart disease. Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists substantially reduces this risk.Aims: We assessed a group of patients with prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation who sustained an ischemic stroke while receiving an adequate regime of oral anticoagulation.Methods: We evaluated consecutive patients with ischemic stroke and prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. We determined demographics, clinical characteristics, TOAST stroke subtypes, CHADS2 scores, and prior or concomitant use of oral anticoagulants.Results: W...
