Acute Management of Stroke Patients Taking Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Addressing Real-world Anticoagulant Management Issues in Stroke (ARAMIS) Registry: Design and Rationale
Conclusion The ARAMIS Registry will document the current state of management of NOAC treated patients with acute ischemic stroke as well as contemporary care and outcome of anticoagulation-related intracerebral hemorrhage. These data will be used to better understand optimal strategies to care for these complex but increasingly common emergent real world clinical challenges.

Factors associated with non –vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: Results from the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation II (ORBIT-AF II)
Conclusions In contemporary clinical practice, up to three-fourths of patients with new-onset AF are now initially treated with a NOAC for stroke prevention. Those selected for NOAC treatment had lower stroke and bleeding risk profiles, were more likely treated by cardiologists, and had higher socioeconomic status.

Two-year follow-up of patients treated with dabigatran for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: GLORIA-AF Registry
Conclusions These global data confirm the sustained safety and effectiveness of dabigatran over 2years of follow-up, consistent with the results from clinical trials as well as contemporary real-world studies. WHAT IS KNOWN • Non- vitamin K antagonist (VKA) anticoagulants (NOACs) are the preferred therapy for prevention of ischemic stroke based on phase 3 trials, but there is insufficient information on their efficacy and safety in daily practice, based on prospectively collected data WHAT IS NEW • This study shows that in non-valvular AF patient population, with up to 2years of follow-up, the use of dabigatran led to ...

Design and rationale of Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A global registry program on long-term oral antithrombotic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: Novel features of this registry program will add data from clinical practice to those from randomized trials to expand knowledge of antithrombotic treatment in patients with AF.

Individualised approaches to thrombo-prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation
Publication date: Available online 11 November 2015 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Oliver J. Ziff, A. John Camm Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. The prevalence of AF in adults over 55 years of age is at least 33.5 million globally and is predicted to more than double in the next half-century. Anticoagulation, heart-rate control, and heart-rhythm control comprise the three main treatment strategies in AF. Anticoagulation is aimed at preventing debilitating stroke, systemic embolism and associated mortality. Historically, anticoagulation in AF was achieved with a vitamin K antag...

Safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant for atrial fibrillation patients following percutaneous coronary intervention: A bivariate analysis of the PIONEER AF-PCI and RE-DUAL PCI trial
Conclusions A bivariate analysis that simultaneously characterizes both risk and benefit demonstrates that rivaroxaban- and dabigatran-based regimens were both favorable over VKA plus dual antiplatelet therapy among patients with AF undergoing PCI.
