Time in therapeutic range of anticoagulation among patients with atrial fibrillation and cerebral amyloid angiopathy
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2021 Dec 28;35(2):162-167. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2021.2013393. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) present risks of ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Vitamin K antagonist use is associated with fluctuations in international normalized ratio (INR), which predispose to a higher bleeding risk. Patients with a diagnosis of AF and ICH while on a vitamin K antagonist were identified using the Rochester Epidemiology Project. Sixty patients were identified (mean age 81.3 years; 24 men). Thirty-three (55%) exhibited characteristics cons...

Risk Factors, Co-Morbidities and Treatment of In-Hospital Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Bulgaria.
CONCLUSIONS: Atrial fibrillation was highly prevalent among our study population. Reduced and mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction, valvular heart disease, and HTN were the risk factors with the strongest association with AF. Although a large number of our AF patients were administered antithrombotic treatment, the prescription rate of oral anticoagulants should be further improved. PMID: 30344265 [PubMed - in process]

Concomitant Use of NSAIDs or SSRIs with NOACs Requires Monitoring for Bleeding.
CONCLUSION: When NSAIDs or SSRIs are required for NOAC users with AF, physicians need to monitor bleeding events and consider the use of PPIs, especially for combined use of both drugs or when initiating NOACs treatment. PMID: 32882758 [PubMed - in process]
