Impact of pre-admission treatment with non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants on stroke severity in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsWe report a positive impact of pre-admission NOAC on ischemic stroke severity, which is particularly remarkable in light of the increased prevalence of prior stroke and lower rates of thrombolysis in this patient population.

Impact of medication adherence on risk of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, and deep vein thrombosis in atrial fibrillation patients using novel oral anticoagulants.
CONCLUSION: Adherence to NOACs for both 6 months and continued prolong use (up to 12-months) was associated with a reduction in IS and DVTPE risk, but did not substantially increase risk of MB. Further studies on newer, individual NOACs and older population are warranted. PMID: 29334815 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation - Which is the BEST?: Balanced in Efficacy and Safety as a Thromboprophylactic.
Authors: Suvarna V Abstract Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) has reached an exciting phase with a plethora of newer, potentially more efficacious and safer agents being introduced for physicians to select from. Dabigatran belongs to a class of anticoagulants called direct thrombin inhibitors, while rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban are direct Factor Xa inhibitors. Purely from a therapeutic endpoint perspective-based on the action of anticoagulants in reducing cardioembolic stroke-in clinical trials, one should look at whether a new anticoagulant in patients with AF prevents ischemic stroke. From a ne...

Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Use in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Bioprosthetic Heart Valves/Prior Surgical Valve Repair: A Multicenter Clinical Practice Experience
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1615261This is an observational study to investigate the efficacy and safety of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with bioprosthetic valves or prior surgical valve repair in clinical practice. A total of 122 patients (mean age: 74.1 ± 13.2; 54 females) with bioprosthetic heart valve or surgical valve repair and AF treated with NOACs were included in the analysis. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age >75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke or transient ischemic attack, Vascular disease) and...

Anticoagulation in geriatric patients with atrial fibrillation : With what and for whom no more?
Authors: Bahrmann P, Christ M Abstract Based on established risk scores, such as the CHA2DS2-VASc score, the indications for oral anticoagulation are given for patients over 65 years old with atrial fibrillation and even more so for patients over 75 years old. Before beginning anticoagulation a geriatric assessment for evaluation of the cognitive ability, the activities of daily living and the risk of falling should be made because of the known complications of anticoagulation. Geriatric patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) are increasingly being treated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagul...

Efficacy and safety of dabigatran in patients with atrial fibrillation scheduled for transoesophageal echocardiogram-guided direct electrical current cardioversion: a prospective propensity score-matched cohort study
This study investigated the long-term efficacy and safety of newly initiated anticoagulation with dabigatran versus uninterrupted vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy in patients with AF scheduled for transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)-guided direct electrical current cardioversion (DCC). Consecutive adult patients with persistent AF scheduled to undergo DCC were included in the study. Patients received dabigatran 110  mg or 150 mg twice daily (bid) or VKA at therapeutic doses for at least 3 weeks before and 4 weeks after DCC. All patients underwent anamnestic, clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic eva...

Use of Non –Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Malignancy: Clinical Practice Experience in a Single Institution and Literature Review
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1607436This observational study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with malignancy. A total of 76 patients (mean age: 73.2 ± 8.9; 28 females) with AF and malignancy treated with NOAC were included in the analysis. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores were 3.2 ± 1.2 and 2.2 ± 0.9, respectively. The study population was taking dabigatran 150 mg (25%) twice daily (BID), apixaban 5 mg BID (25%), dabigatran 110 mg BID (24%), rivaroxaban 20 mg (18%) once a da...

Real-world Data and Recommended Dosage of Non-vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants for Korean Patients.
Authors: Joung B Abstract Regulatory approvals of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been based on large randomized phase III trials evaluating dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban relative to warfarin for atrial fibrillation (AF). The results of the trials showed that all NOACs were at least non-inferior to warfarin in the prevention of stroke/thromboembolism and showed lower rates of intracranial bleeding than those associated with warfarin. However, the trials were designed differently, varied in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and used either one dose or a low/high dose of the...

Outcomes of Dabigatran and Warfarin for Atrial Fibrillation in Contemporary Practice: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Conclusion: In matched adults with atrial fibrillation treated in practice, the incidences of stroke and bleeding with dabigatran versus warfarin were consistent with those seen in trials. The possible relationship between dabigatran and myocardial infarction warrants further investigation. Primary Funding Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Anti ‐thrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic kidney disease: Current views
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs in approximately one‐third of patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The presence of CKD, particularly advanced CKD, confers increased risk of both thromboembolism and major bleeding in this group of patients who are already at risk for ischemic stroke and systemic embolism and at risk of bleeding due to anticoagulation. Studies assessing the effect of warfarin on risk of ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, and major bleeding have produced disparate results, particularly in patients with advanced CKD including those treated with hemodialysis. The direct oral an...
