ISCHEMIC STROKE AND MAJOR BLEEDING WHILE ON DIRECT ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS IN NA ÏVE PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: IMPACT OF RESUMPTION OR DISCONTINUATION OF ANTICOAGULANT TREATMENT. A population-based study.
We assessed the cumulative incidence of recurrent stroke, major bleeding and all-cause mortality associated with restarting antithrombotic treatment, in patients experiencing an anticoagulation-related event (stroke or major bleeding), occurred during anticoagulation therapy for AF.Methods and Results.We performed a retrospective population-based analysis on linked claims data of patients resident in the Veneto Region, treated with DOACs for AF and discharged (2013 −2020) from the hospital for stroke, intracranial haemorrhage (ICH), and major bleeding.

Association of Frailty Status on the Causes and Outcomes of Patients Admitted With Cardiovascular Disease
Data are limited about the contemporary association between frailty and the causes and outcomes of patients admitted with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Using the US National Inpatient Sample, CVD admissions of interest (acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest, and hemorrhagic stroke) were stratified by Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Logistic regression was used to determine adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of in-hospital mortality among different groups with frailty.

Prognostic indicators for the onset of ischaemic versus haemorrhagic stroke in stable coronary artery disease
Medicine (Baltimore). 2021 Dec 3;100(48):e27973. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000027973.ABSTRACTThe incidence of stroke may be increased in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the specific risk factors for the development of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in stable CAD patients.Patients with stable CAD were prospectively enrolled for future cardiovascular events in Taiwan. All the patients had received coronary interventions and were stable for least 1 month before enrolment. The incidence of ischaemic stroke was identified and confirmed by telephone and hospital records. Baseline characterist...

Sex-related disparities in the incidence and outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke among type 2 diabetes patients: a propensity score matching analysis using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database for the period 2016 –18
To analyze incidence, use of therapeutic procedures, use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) and antiplatelet agents prior to hospitalization, and in-hospital outcomes among patients who were hospitalized with hemor...

A journey through clinic and research
I started to study Medicine at the University of Genoa, Italy more than 20 years ago and I now realize that I was quite far from understanding what ‘Medicine’ really means. After weeks and weeks spent on books during the first year, I understood that becoming a MD not only requires the willingness to help people with health problems, but also strong motivation and dedication to learn a huge amount of notions. In Italy, as it is the case for several other countries, the University courses last 6 years, during which the MD student is fully engaged by individual study, lessons and seminars, exercises, and internships. Wit...

Open Repair of Acute Type A Intramural Hematoma in 3 Patients
Tex Heart Inst J. 2020 Aug 1;47(4):290-297. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-20-7242.ABSTRACTAcute aortic syndrome encompasses classic aortic dissection and less common aortic phenomena, including intramural hematoma (IMH), a hemorrhage within the aortic media that occurs without a discrete intimal tear. We reviewed our experience with treating acute type A IMH to better understand this acute aortic syndrome. A review of our clinical database identified 1,902 proximal aortic repairs that were performed from January 2006 through December 2018; of these, 266 were for acute aortic syndrome, including 3 (1.1%) for acute type A IMH. Operativ...
