Efficacy and Safety of Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and History of Falls or Risk of Falls: A Systematic Review and Multilevel Meta-Analysis
ConclusionNOACs were associated with less intracranial hemorrhages and ischemic strokes/systemic embolisms than VKAs in AF patients at risk of falls. These findings suggesting preferred use of NOACs over VKAs have clinical implications for physicians, patients and policy makers.

Appropriateness of Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Dosing According to Different Prescription Guides Used in Belgian Ambulatory Care
ConclusionsInappropriate NOAC dosing is present in almost twenty percent of AF patients according to the SmPC and requires further education of health care professionals and frequent reassessment of NOAC dosing. However, a significant lower prevalence of underdosing was present when judged by the 2018 EHRA criteria, likely reflecting decision making in complex AF patients. Perceived frailty, weight, renal function and type of NOAC are the main determinants of deviated dosing.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants vs vitamin K antagonists after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionWhile the results of this analysis reveal NOAC as a potential alternate treatment modality to VKA in post-TAVR patients with AF, further research is needed to determine the full safety and efficacy profile of NOAC (PROSPERO: CRD42021283548).

A comparison of front-line oral anticoagulants for the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants in the FANTASIIA registry
We present in this manuscript original data analysis from FANTASIIA population as well as data obtained through a search of PubMed for the clinical trials comparing DOAC in the main randomized trials of each DOAC and observational data of the real-world effects of DOACs compared to VKAs.EXPERT OPINION: In the absence of randomized, controlled head-to-head comparisons between DOACs, high-quality observational data can provide useful information on the comparative effectiveness of DOACs. Current clinical guidelines recommend the management of oral anticoagulation in AF patients with DOACs over VKA for stroke prevention; howe...

Serum or Plasma for Quantification of Direct Oral Anticoagulants?
Background: Direct oral anticoagulants are increasingly replacing vitamin K antagonists for prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, partly owing to the lack of a need for routine monitoring. Therapeutic drug monitoring may still be warranted under certain circumstances. It is generally assumed that serum and plasma can be interchangeably used for this purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate possible differences between the serum, citrate-plasma, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-plasma concentrations of apixaban and rivaroxaban in a larger patient group and their relation to factor...

The role of mitochondria-targeting miRNAs in intracerebral hemorrhage
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2022 May 6. doi: 10.2174/1570159X20666220507021445. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke, most often occurring between the ages of 45 and 60. Arterial hypertension (AH) is most often the cause of ICH, followed by atherosclerosis, blood diseases, inflammatory changes in cerebral vessels, intoxication and vitamin deficiencies. Cerebral hemorrhage can occur by diapedesis or as a result of a ruptured vessel. AH is difficult to treat; requires surgery and can lead to disability or death. One of the important directions in th...

Direct oral anticoagulants compared with vitamin K antagonists for left ventricular thrombus: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: DOACs and VKAs showed no difference in the safety and efficacy of patients with LVT. DOACs might be superior to VKAs for LVT treatment in post-AMI patients.PMID:35400334 | DOI:10.2174/1381612828666220408120832
