Minimal Adherence Threshold to Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation to Reduce the Risk of Thromboembolism and Death: A Nationwide Cohort Study
ConclusionPoor adherence to NOACs is associated with increased risks of thromboembolism and all-cause mortality. The minimal adherence threshold should be ≥ 90%, preferably even ≥ 95%.

Development and validation of a nomogram for the risk prediction of malignant cerebral edema after acute large hemispheric infarction involving the anterior circulation
ConclusionOur nomogram based on LASSO-logistic regression is accurate and useful for the early prediction of MCE after LHI. This model can serve as a precise and practical tool for clinical decision-making in patients with LHI who may require aggressive therapeutic approaches.

Hypoattenuation Thickening on CT Prognostic After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 13, 2023 -- For patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), high-grade hypoattenuation thickening (HAT) at follow-up computed tomography (CT) is associated with higher stroke risk, according...

Comparative Bleeding Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation with Cancer versus Without Cancer from Nationwide Prospective Cohort
This study aimed to clarify the differences in the bleeding risk in patients with AF with cancers and those without cancers during the long-term OAC.The CODE-AF prospective registry enrolled 5,902 consecutive patients treated for AF at 10 tertiary referral centers in Korea. Of the enrolled patients, 464 (7.8%) were diagnosed with cancers and were followed for all stroke and bleeding events (net composite events).The age, CHA2DS2-VASC, and HAS-BLED scores were similar between AF patients with and without cancers. Male population greatly comprised patients with AF with cancers. They were equally prescribed with direct OAC co...

Retrospective cohort study investigating synergism of air pollution and corticosteroid exposure in promoting cardiovascular and thromboembolic events in older adults
Conclusion PM2.5 and systemic corticosteroid use were independently associated with increases in CTE hospitalisations. We also found evidence of significant additive interactions between the two exposures for HF and MI/ACSs suggesting synergy between these two exposures.

Dual potential embolic source detected in left atrium during hyperacute stroke
Clinical introduction A woman in her late 60s with a medical history of hypertension presented to the emergency department with symptoms of a stroke which began 40 min prior. Brain MRI was performed (figure 1A). Hyperacute CT angiography of the head and neck did not find any atherosclerosis. ECG is shown (figure 1B), and subsequent transthoracic echocardiography showed left atrium enlargement and left-to-right flow at the region of the fossa ovalis (figure 1C). Figure 1Brain MRI of diffusion-weighted image sequence (A), ECG (B), and transthoracic echocardiogram (C). Question Which of the following is the most likely mechan...

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation and reasons for undertreatment with oral anticoagulants
ConclusionsIn the population of V ästernorrland County, a very high AF prevalence of 4.7% was found, of which just over 90% would theoretically benefit from OAC treatment. This is higher than previously reported and stresses the importance of stroke prevention in this large patient group.

Direct oral anticoagulants versus vitamin K antagonists: Which one is more effective in atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis demonstrates that in patients undergoing bioprosthetic valve surgery and presenting with AF afterward, DOAC and VKA are similar regarding life-threatening and all-cause mortality outcomes, including major bleeding, stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage.PMID:37697799 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231202383

Benefits of Pulmonary Vein Isolation Beyond Rhythm Control
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is continually increasing, with major implications for patients and health care systems given the increased morbidity and mortality. Approximately one-third of patients with AF additionally are affected by mental health conditions (notably depression, anxiety, and perceived stress). Psychological distress conditions are independent risk factors for adverse cardiovascular outcomes (including stroke and major bleeding) in patients with AF and promote AF recurrence. Without doubt, these associations add more complexity to comprehensive treatment decisions for patients with AF.
