Prescribing of anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation in primary care
The objective of this study was to describe anticoagulation prescribing by primary care physicians. We conducted an observational study in the Cleveland Clinic Health System among patients with AF and  ≥ 1 primary care appointment between 2015 and 2018 and their physicians. We estimated differences in the odds of an eligible patient receiving anticoagulation versus not and a DOAC versus warfarin using two mixed effects logistic regression models, adjusted for patient sociodemographic factor s, history of falls or dementia, and CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores. We categorized physicians into prescribing tertiles, base...

Selecting the right anticoagulant for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Non-valvular AF patients on apixaban had lower rates of thromboembolic events than the patients on acenocumarol. This article will serve as a reminder of the positive health and financial outcomes of apixaban use, especially to those healthcare systems that are still oblivious to the decrease in economic burden and gain in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) by the long-term use of NOACS/ DOACS instead of the AVK anticoagulants.PMID:34286492 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202107_26241

Prevention of Dementia in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Korean Circ J. 2021 Apr;51(4):308-319. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2021.0027.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia in the elderly population and increases stroke risk by a factor of 4- to 5-fold. There is increasing evidence to suggest that incident AF may contribute to the development of dementia, independent of overt stroke. In particular, relatively younger patients with AF are more prone to dementia development than older patients with AF. Evidence is accumulating regarding the possible treatment strategies for preventing dementia in patients with AF. Oral anticoagulation may be effective for redu...
