Management of Anticoagulation in Cancer Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Isr Med Assoc J. 2022 Mar;24(3):183-185.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation is becoming an increasingly important problem in cardio-oncology. Specific risk factors for atrial fibrillation occurrence include type of cancer disease and anticancer drugs. Anticoagulation is often abandoned. The CHA2DS2-VASc and CHA2DS2 scores may be important not only in predicting stroke but also in mortality. The role of new direct oral anticoagulants is growing, but they need to be used in a personalized approach depending on the risk of unbeneficial interactions with cancer treatment and the risk of bleeding.PMID:35347933

Novel bleeding prediction model in atrial fibrillation patients on new oral anticoagulants
Conclusions We present a novel and simple risk score for prediction of major bleeding in patients with non-valvular AF treated with NOACs. Validation in additional cohorts is warranted.

Adherence to Oral Anticoagulant Medications
CONCLUSIONS: Adherence rates to OAC in chronic use among patients with chronic NAVF are high. Investing in OAC adherence may have a wider health impact than expected.PMID:34472234
