Incidence and Risk Factors of Future Need for Long-Term Care Insurance in Japanese Elderly Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
CONCLUSIONS: In elderly patients with LV systolic dysfunction, the incidence of LTCI requirement was more common than that for community-dwelling people; its risk factors did not include LVEF, but included many other non-cardiac comorbidities and therapies, suggesting the need for interdisciplinary cooperation to prevent disabilities.PMID:34789610 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0580

Antithrombotic Therapy for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Valves - Real-World Data From the Multicenter, Prospective, Observational BPV-AF Registry
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 30% of patients with AF and BPV replacement were treated with DOAC. The risks of major bleeding and stroke or systemic embolism were similar between warfarin- and DOAC-treated patients with AF who had BPV replacement. Treatment with DOACs could be an alternative to warfarin in this population.PMID:34719560 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0564

Impact of mitral versus aortic bioprosthetic valve position on thromboembolism and bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: In Japanese patients with AF and bioprosthetic valves, thromboembolic risk does not differ on the basis of valve position. Bleeding risk is higher in patients with MV bioprostheses, although valve position itself might not be an independent predictor for bleeding.PMID:34716054 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.10.002

Interrupted versus uninterrupted anticoagulation therapy for catheter ablation in adults with arrhythmias
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis showed that the evidence is uncertain to inform the decision to either interrupt or continue anticoagulation therapy around CA procedure in adults with arrhythmia on outcomes of thromboembolic events, major and minor bleeding, all-cause mortality, asymptomatic thromboembolic events, and a composite endpoint of thromboembolic events (stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality). Most studies in the review adopted a minimal interruption strategy which has the advantage of reducing the risk of bleeding while maintaining a lower level of anticoagulation to prevent periproc...

Prediction of recurrent stroke among ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation: Development and validation of a risk score model
ConclusionsNeither conventional risk stratification tools nor our newly developed comprehensive prediction model using available clinical factors seemed to be suitable for identifying patients at high risk of recurrent ischemic stroke among AIS patients with AF in this modern direct oral anticoagulant era. Detailed individual information, including imaging, may be warranted to build a more robust and precise risk prediction model for stroke survivors with AF.

Effectiveness and safety of transcatheter left atrial appendage closure
J Cardiol. 2021 Sep 23:S0914-5087(21)00234-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.08.031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for cardiogenic stroke. Since left atrial appendage (LAA) is a cause of most of cardiac thrombus, LAA closure is an emerging novel stroke prevention procedure for patients with AF alternative to anticoagulation. WATCHMAN LAA Closure device (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) is the only approved device in the USA and Japan. The device is indicated in high bleeding risk and high stroke risk non-valvular AF patients. Cardiac tamponade, stroke, and device embolization are t...
