The Impact of Polypharmacy on the Effectiveness and Safety of Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Polypharmacy was associated with increased thromboembolic, bleeding, and mortality risks in AF patients. NOACs had better benefit-risk profiles than VKAs in patients with polypharmacy.PMID:37369234 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1769735

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Devices: Are We Isolating the Right Population?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects more than 37 million persons worldwide contributing to significant morbidity and mortality.1 Stroke prevention with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or non-VKA oral anticoagulants remains the mainstay of therapy in patients with AF because of the reduction of all-cause mortality in randomized clinical trials when compared with placebo. VKAs are necessary for those patients with valvular AF but carry a higher risk of stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality when compared with non-VKA oral anticoagulants.

Prescriptive behavior of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants in patients affected by atrial fibrillation in general practice
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Jun 21;165:115020. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and in recent years the pharmacological approach has been strongly implemented; in Italy, the prescription of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC) was also extended to General Practitioners (GPs) since 2020. The aim of the present study was to investigate the GPs prescribing behaviour of NOACs. An observational study was performed by using the computerized medical record of 14 GPs in Sicily: patients affected by AF were selected and st...

Spontaneous calcific cerebral embolization revealing a calcified rheumatic mitral stenosis: a case report
ConclusionSpontaneous calcified cerebral emboli secondary to mitral valve leaflet calcifications is an extremely rare condition. Replacement of the valve is the only option to prevent recurrent emboli and outcomes are still to be determined.

Non-major bleeding risk of direct oral anticoagulants versus vitamin K antagonists for stroke prevention with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionsBased on current evidence, for stroke prevention in patients with AF, the safest DOAC is apixaban in terms of non-major bleeding. This suggests that apixaban may have a lower risk of non-major bleeding than other anticoagulants and may help provide some clinical reference for choosing a more appropriate drug for the patient.

DOACs use in extreme body-weighted patients: results from the prospective START-register
ConclusionsDOACs seem to be effective and safe also for the treatment of patients with extreme body weights, both underweight and overweight. Further prospective studies are needed to support these findings.

Safety outcomes of direct oral anticoagulants in older adults with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of (subgroup analyses from) randomized controlled trials
AbstractBalancing stroke prevention and risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are by now considered standard of care for treating patients with AF in international guidelines. Our objective was to assess the safety of long-term intake of DOACs in older adults with AF. We included RCTs in elderly ( ≥ 65 years) patients with AF. A systematic search in MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed on 19 April 2022. For determination of risk of bias, the RoB 2 tool was applied. We pooled outcomes using random-effects meta-analyses. The quality of evidence was as...

Effect of prior anticoagulation therapy on stroke severity and in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation
We aimed to assess the prevalence of prior anticoagulation therapy (warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants [NOACs]) among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in China and investigate the associations between prior anticoagulation therapy and initial stroke severity and in-hospital outcomes.
