< em > ABCG2 < /em > Gene Polymorphisms May Affect the Bleeding Risk in Patients on Apixaban and Rivaroxaban
CONCLUSION: The modified HAS-BLED score, a history of bleeding, concurrent use of PPI, ABCG2 rs3114018, and ABCB1 rs1045642 were significantly associated with the risk of bleeding complications in patients on apixaban and rivaroxaban, after adjusting for other confounders. These findings can be used to develop individualized treatment strategies for patients taking apixaban and rivaroxaban.PMID:37641689 | PMC:PMC10460569 | DOI:10.2147/DDDT.S417096

Investigation of Factors That Affect the Quality of Life After a Stroke
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1425:437-442. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_42.ABSTRACTStroke, as a disease, describes a group of disorders characterized by the presence of central nervous system symptoms either as a result of ischemia (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). The appearance of a stroke results in a permanent physical or cognitive disability. The stroke incidence is the third cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability.The effects of a stroke on a patient's daily life, and hence on his quality of life, are intense and long-lasting. These include memory pro...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and  Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Within our cohort, LAAO in cancer patients was achieved with good procedural success and offered a reduction in stroke at no increased bleeding risk similar to noncancer patients.PMID:37144110 | PMC:PMC10152198 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaccao.2022.10.016

Atrial fibrillation, cancer and anticancer drugs
Arch Cardiovasc Dis. 2023 Mar 11:S1875-2136(23)00058-X. doi: 10.1016/j.acvd.2023.02.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTActive cancer is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), which varies depending on the pre-existing substrate (particularly in older patients), the cancer type and stage, and the anticancer therapeutics being taken. To date, studies have not been able to identify the individual contribution of each factor. During anticancer drug therapy, AF may occur with a frequency of ≈ 15-20% according to several factors, including the patient's baseline cardiovascular toxicity risk and the AF-d...

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin Among Adults With Cancer and Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Older adults with cancer and atrial fibrillation exposed to DOACs had similar risks of stroke and systemic embolism and major bleeding as those exposed to warfarin. Relative to warfarin, DOAC use was associated with a similar risk of cardiovascular death and a lower risk of all-cause death.PMID:36453260 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.122.008951

Renal outcomes in valve-in-valve transcatheter versus redo surgical aortic valve replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Renoprotective strategies should be put into place to prevent and reduce AKI incidence regardless of the treatment modality. Patients undergoing re-intervention for the aortic valve constitute a high-risk and frail population in which ViV-TAVR demonstrated it might be a feasible option for carefully selected patients. Long-term follow-up data and randomized control trials will be needed to evaluate mortality and morbidity outcomes between these 2 treatments.PMID:36040611 | DOI:10.1111/jocs.16890

Novel contact-kinin inhibitor sylvestin targets thromboinflammation and ameliorates ischemic stroke
Cell Mol Life Sci. 2022 Apr 13;79(5):240. doi: 10.1007/s00018-022-04257-7.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Increasing evidence indicates that ischemic stroke is a thromboinflammatory disease in which the contact-kinin pathway has a central role by activating pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory processes. The blocking of distinct members of the contact-kinin pathway is a promising strategy to control ischemic stroke. Here, a plasma kallikrein and active FXII (FXIIa) inhibitor (sylvestin, contained 43 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 4790.4 Da) was first identified from fore...
