Hospitalization affects the anticoagulation patterns of patients with atrial fibrillation
In conclusion, in patients with known AF at high risk for stroke, hospitalization was associated with an increase in OAC uptake, dri ven mainly by NOAC initiation. Three out of 10 patients initiated, switched or discontinued OAC treatment during hospitalization and this was associated with discrete epidemiologic parameters.

Thromboembolism and bleeding risk in atrial fibrillation ablation with uninterrupted anticoagulation between new oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists: insights from an updated meta-analysis
In conclusions, uninterrupted NOACs was more effective than uninterrupted VKA in reducing major bleeding and pericardial effusion risk without increasing thromboembolism risk, and the benefits of uninterrupted NOACs on major bleeding complication could be more pronounced if CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 2 or target ACT > 300 s.

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractSeveral studies have explored the use of NOACs compared with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF); and therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of NOACs with VKAs in this population. We systematically searched the PubMed and Embase databases until August 5, 2019 for studies that compared the effect of NOACs with VKAs in patients with HCM and AF. The risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random-effects model. A total of four observational studies were included in this meta-analysis. Over...

Direct oral anticoagulants and warfarin in patients with cirrhosis: a comparison of outcomes
In conclusion DOACs appear to be a safe alternative to warfarin in patients with mild to moderate cirrhosis. Further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Right drug, wrong dosage: insights from the PAVE-AF antithrombotic study in older patients with atrial fibrillation
AbstractOptimal antithrombotic treatment of older patients is usually impeded by several prevailing misconceptions. The aim of our study was to assess the type, dosage and predictors of antithrombotic therapy in older patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). PAVE-AF was a prospective, cross-sectional study, including NVAF patients ≥ 80 years from 30 participating centers. Demographic data, comorbidities and treatment patterns were documented in a single visit. Patients treated with non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) were further classified into three dosing categories (recommended, underdosing and o...

Impact of different anticoagulation management strategies on outcomes in atrial fibrillation: Dutch and Belgian results from the GARFIELD-AF registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In GARFIELD-AF, despite similar characteristics, patients on anticoagulants were treated differently in NL and BE. Although the rate of major bleeding was 33% higher in NL, variations in bleeding, mortality and TE rates were not statistically significant.

Clinical Performance of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Real-World Obese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1715792The prevalence of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and obesity has steadily increased. Nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been shown to be more effective and safer than vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for long-term stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF. There are still limited data in the literature regarding performance of NOACs in obese patients with AF in the “real world.” The aim of our study was to compare the safety and effectiveness of NOACs versus well-controlled VKA therapy in obese AF patients in a “real-world” setting. Here, we ha...

Short-term non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants vs. warfarin in preventing device-related thrombosis after left atrial appendage closure
AbstractUp to now we have had few evidences on the Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) ’ efficacy and safety in preventing device-related thrombosis (DRT) after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). After LAAC implantation, short-term anticoagulation (NOACs or warfarin) was prescribed. Baseline clinical characteristics, procedural parameters and postoperative follow up data were collected and compared between the two groups. From May 2014 to June 2018, 361 consecutive patients underwent LAAC implantation in our center. 170 patients received warfarin for 45 days at least after LAAC implantat...

Oral anticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation in the ED: RE-LY AF registry analysis
AbstractOral anticoagulation (OAC) reduces stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine predictors of OAC initiation in AF patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). Secondary analysis of the RE-LY AF registry which enrolled individuals from 47 countries between 2007 and 2011 who presented to an ED with AF and followed them for 1 year. A total of 4149 patients with AF as their primary diagnosis who were not already taking OAC and had a CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 1 for men or ≥ 2 for women were included in this analysis. Of these individuals, 26.8% were started on OAC (99.2% vi...

Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant, Warfarin, and ABC Pathway Adherence on Hierarchical Outcomes: Win Ratio Analysis of the COOL-AF Registry
CONCLUSION: This Win Ratio analysis demonstrates the significant benefits of NOACs over warfarin and ABC pathway adherence over nonadherence in reducing the composite outcome in patients with AF.PMID:37625457 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1772773

Potential net clinical benefit of population-wide implementation of apixaban and dabigatran among European patients with atrial fibrillation. A modelling analysis from the Euro Heart Survey.
In conclusion, based on this modelling exercise, the utilisation of apixaban and dabigatran for thromboprophylaxis could provide a profound annual mathematical net clinical benefit on stroke and major bleeds, in European AF patients.

Bleeding risks associated with vitamin K antagonists
Abstract: Vitamin K antagonists are widely used for the prevention of stroke due to atrial fibrillation, treatment and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism, prevention of valvular thromboembolism in patients with prosthetic heart valves, and secondary prevention of acute myocardial infarction. The most common adverse event experienced by patients receiving anticoagulant therapy is major bleeding. The incidence of major bleeding in patients receiving long-term anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist in contemporary studies is 1–3% per year. To determine if the benefits of anticoagulant therapy outweigh the r...

New anticoagulants
Arterial and venous thromboembolism are a major health problem and a leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Novel – oral – anticoagulants (NOACs) have recently been introduced into the clinical arena after careful evaluation in clinical trials. They constitute a new array of unique, molecular base designed antithrombotic agents with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics characteristics. They have the potential of revolutionizing the treatment in our patients but at the same time important practical issues deserve our attention. This volume, written by international experts from Europe as well as ...
