Efficacy and safety of an antithrombotic regimen for atrial fibrillation patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis.
This study evaluated the benefit of dual therapy in reducing ischemic events in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing dual and triple therapies (oral anticoagulation plus aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor) for AF patients with ACS or those undergoing PCI. The composite primary outcome included all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis (ST), or stroke. Relative risk (RR) and the corresponding 95% confiden...

Patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease – Double trouble
Publication date: March 2018Source: Advances in Medical Sciences, Volume 63, Issue 1Author(s): Ewelina Michniewicz, Elżbieta Mlodawska, Paulina Lopatowska, Anna Tomaszuk-Kazberuk, Jolanta MalyszkoAbstractCoronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease while atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Both diseases share associated risk factors – hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, obesity and smoking. Moreover, inflammation plays a causative role in both diseases. The prevalence of CAD in patients with AF is from 17% to 46.5% while the prevalence of AF among patients...

Patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease - Double trouble.
Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease while atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Both diseases share associated risk factors - hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, obesity and smoking. Moreover, inflammation plays a causative role in both diseases. The prevalence of CAD in patients with AF is from 17% to 46.5% while the prevalence of AF among patients with CAD is low and it is estimated from 0.2% to 5%. AF is a well-established factor of poor short- and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is associ...

Unraveling modulators of platelet reactivity in cardiovascular patients using omics strategies: Towards a network biology paradigm
Publication date: 2013 Source:Translational Proteomics, Volume 1, Issue 1 Author(s): Anne Zufferey , Mark Ibberson , Jean-Luc Reny , Ioannis Xenarios , Jean-Charles Sanchez , Pierre Fontana Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis and the ischemic complications of atherosclerosis. Platelets may be activated by several different agonists, promoting the release of their granule contents and subsequent aggregation and thrombus formation; this leads to ischemic events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Aspirin, the most popular antiplatelet agent, is a cornerstone in the treatment and prevention of ischemic...
