Daily Aspirin No Longer Recommended To Prevent Heart Attacks In Older Adults
(CNN) — If you’re a healthy older adult looking for ways to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke, don’t turn to that age-old standby: daily low-dose aspirin. It’s no longer recommended as a preventative for older adults who don’t have a high risk or existing heart disease, according to guidelines announced Sunday by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association. “For the most part, we are now much better at treating risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and especially high cholesterol,” said North Carolina cardiologist Dr. Kevin Campbell, who wa...

Analysis of the Safety Profile of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System
Conclusion:Our analysis found that among DOACs rates of breakthrough VTE were significantly higher with rivaroxaban, and that reported rates of ischemic stroke were significantly higher with dabigatran. While no DOACs have been compared against each other in prospective trials, post-marketing reports have suggested that different safety profiles exist among DOACs, a finding reiterated by our analysis. The significantly higher rate of VTE reported with rivaroxaban as compared to other DOACs has not previously been described to the best of our knowledge and deserves further analysis. The two methods of comparing the anticoag...

Anticoagulation Timing for Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Most stroke physicians will have been asked the best time to start anticoagulation for a patient with atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute ischemic stroke. There is no question that long-term anticoagulation with a direct oral anticoagulant or warfarin sodium reduces the risk of strokes in patients with AF, but the right time to start anticoagulation is uncertain.
