Ethnic differences in atrial fibrillation among patients with heart failure in Asia
ConclusionsAmong patients with HF across Asia, clinical correlates and adverse outcomes associated with AF are similar across ethnicities; however, there are striking ethnic variations in the prevalence of AF that are not accounted for by known risk factors.

Impact of body mass index on real-world outcomes of rivaroxaban treatment in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
In conclusion, the high incidence of thromboembolic events and all-cause mortality in patients who were underweight highlights that thorough evaluation of disease status and comorbidities may be required in this population.

Extent of Late Gadolinium Enhancement Predicts Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: LGE extent (>14.4%) is an independent predictor for thromboembolic complications in patients with HCM and might therefore be considered as an important risk marker. The risk for thromboembolic events is significantly elevated if accompanied by AF. PMID: 32238665 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Electrocardiographic Left Atrial Abnormality and B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in a General Japanese Population: NIPPON DATA2010.
CONCLUSIONS: In the contemporary general population cohort, PTFV1 was independently related to high BNP concentration. PTFV1 may be an alternative marker to BNP in identifying individuals at a higher risk of future cardiovascular events in the East Asian population. PMID: 32188793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Registry of antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation patients with bioprosthetic valves: A retrospective observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: In a current real-world setting in Japan, warfarin was the most commonly used treatment in AF patients with bioprosthetic valves, but there was an increasing trend of DOAC-treated patients. Further investigations are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of DOAC in patients with bioprosthetic valves. PMID: 32156512 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dabigatran for Japanese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Prior Stroke: A Subgroup Analysis of the J-Dabigatran Surveillance Program
Background: The study objective was to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of dabigatran 110 mg and 150 mg twice daily (bid) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with a focus on secondary stroke prevention. Methods: In J-Dabigatran Surveillance, 6772 patients newly initiated on dabigatran to prevent ischemic stroke and systemic embolism were enrolled in Japan (1042 sites, December 2011 to November 2013). This subgroup analysis included patients with (1302) and without (5071) previous stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Rhythm versus rate control strategies regarding anticoagulant use in elderly non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients: Subanalysis of the ANAFIE (All Nippon AF In the Elderly) Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Use versus non-use and antiarrhythmic therapy varied significantly by age, stroke risk scores, type of AF, and DOAC use between subgroups. PMID: 32081607 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of creatinine clearance on clinical outcomes in elderly atrial fibrillation patients receiving apixaban: J-ELD AF registry sub-analysis
ConclusionsThe incidence of events in each CCr value group was comparable for stroke or systemic embolism and bleeding requiring hospitalization, and significantly higher for total deaths and cardiovascular deaths only in the CCr 15–29 mL/min group, in Japanese non-valvular AF patients aged ≥75 years.

Baseline Characteristics of Elderly Japanese Patients Aged ≥75 Years With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and a History of Stroke　- ANAFIE Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In this unique nationwide NVAF registry of >30,000 elderly patients, >90% of patients, even those with HS, received anti-thrombotic therapy, nearly always with OAC. DOAC were the major choice of OAC. PMID: 31983727 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical Risk Factors of Thromboembolic and Major Bleeding Events for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Rivaroxaban in Japan
Background: It is important to understand the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) receiving direct oral anticoagulants; however, data on risk factors in Japanese patients are limited. Methods: XAPASS (Xarelto Post-Authorization Safety and Effectiveness Study in Japanese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation) is a prospective observational study examining the safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban in Japanese real-world clinical practice. We investigated risk factors for stroke/noncentral nervous system systemic embolism (non-CNS SE)/myocardial infarction (MI) and major ...

Age-Related Differences in the Clinical Characteristics and Treatment of Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation in Japan 　- Insight From the ANAFIE (All Nippon AF In Elderly) Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Permanent/persistent AF, comorbidities, and cardiovascular and bleeding risk all increased significantly with age. Furthermore, use of warfarin and apixaban increased with age, accompanied by a decrease in other oral anticoagulant usage. PMID: 31969518 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Moderate Levels of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide is Associated with Increased Risks of Total and Ischemic Strokes among Japanese: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study.
CONCLUSION: We found that even moderate serum levels of NT-proBNP were associated with the risk of total and ischemic strokes among Japanese whose NT-proBNP levels were relatively low compared with Westerners. PMID: 31932552 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low Consultation Rate of General Population with Atrial Fibrillation.
In conclusion, about one-third of the patients with AF did not regularly see a doctor in a medical institution and most of them had a CHADS2 score of more than one point in a Japanese rural area. Educating the public about the risks of AF is required. PMID: 31735770 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
