Rivaroxaban in the cardiovascular world: a direct anticoagulant useful to prevent stroke, and venous and arterial thromboembolism.
Authors: Seoane L, Cortés M, Aris Cancela ME, Furmento J, Baranchuk A, Conde D Abstract INTRODUCTION: Until recently, vitamin K antagonists were the only drugs available for long-term anticoagulation. The use of these drugs is laborious due to their variable pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The advent of direct oral anticoagulants has produced a paradigm shift due to their low incidence of drug interactions, their stable plasma levels and their lack of monitoring. Rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, has been tested in different clinical scenarios and has proved to be effective and safe, even increasing the s...

Stroke risk assessment in atrial fibrillation: Beyond atrial rhythm
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, and is responsible for at least 20% of all strokes. Moreover, strokes associated to AF are largely avoidable, as the use of anti-vitamin K drugs can prevent>65% of all strokes, and direct oral anticoagulants con reduce the rate of stroke by a further 19% [1].

Persisting stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation despite proper anticoagulation – Unmet clinical needs
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is crucial to prevent cardioembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Development of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), which inhibit activities of the coagulant proteases thrombin and activated factor X (FXs), has improved the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in AF, compared to traditional vitamin K antagonists like warfarin [1,2]. Yet in a small, but numerically relevant proportion of up to 2% of patients, this cornerstone principle fails for unclear reasons.

Integrating Real-World Evidence in Economic Evaluation of Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in a Developing Country
ConclusionsIn a developing country where suboptimal anticoagulation control is common, apixaban was the cost-effective alternative to warfarin for patients with both low and intermediate TTR control.

Searching for Atrial Fibrillation Poststroke: A White Paper of the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration.
H, Kirchhof P, Korompoki E, Krieger DW, Lip GYH, Løchen ML, Mairesse GH, Montaner J, Neubeck L, Ntaios G, Piccini JP, Potpara TS, Quinn TJ, Reiffel JA, Ribeiro ALP, Rienstra M, Rosenqvist M, Sakis T, Sinner MF, Svendsen JH, Van Gelder IC, Wachter R, Wijeratne T, Yan B Abstract Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for up to one-third of ischemic strokes. Stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF. Given the efficacy of oral anticoagulants in preventing AF-related ischemic strokes, strategies of searching for AF after a stroke using ECG monitoring fol...
