Patients with acute myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation: association of anemia with risk of in-hospital bleeding, stroke and other death causes.
Conclusions: In the Chinese in-hospital AMI and AF cohort, anemia was shown to be associated with increased risk of any bleeding, minor bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding and other death causes, but not the risk of stroke or/and SE. Trial Registration Not applicable. PMID: 33411568 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Worsening renal function, adverse clinical events, and major determinants for changes of renal function in patients with atrial fibrillation: a Japanese multicenter registry substudy.
Conclusion: Age ≥75 years, body weight ≤50 kg, a history of heart failure, and initially preserved renal function appear to promote renal dysfunction in patients with AF, but a history of AF ablation seems to have a favorable effect. Worsening renal function seems to increase AF patients' risk of adverse clinical events. Renal function can decline quickly; thus, early intervention including AF ablation is warranted.

Safety and effectiveness of apixaban in comparison to warfarin in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: a propensity-matched analysis from Japanese administrative claims data.
CONCLUSIONS: Our observational data from clinical practice broadly confirm the safety and efficacy results of pivotal randomized controlled trials of apixaban for stroke prevention among NVAF patients. PMID: 29772946 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
