Oral anticoagulant switching in patients with atrial fibrillation: a scoping review
Conclusions OAC switching is common in patients with AF and patients often switch back to an OAC they have previously been on. There are aspects of OAC switching that have received little study, especially in switches from DOACs.

Extreme preterm neonate with fetal warfarin syndrome
A 25+3 week gestation male infant weighing 493 g was delivered via caesarean section for intrauterine growth restriction and abnormal Dopplers. The mother was on long-term thromboprophylactic warfarin 5 mg/day due to her prosthetic mechanical heart valve following childhood rheumatic fever. Once pregnancy was diagnosed, at 4+0 weeks’ gestation, warfarin was discontinued and low-molecular-weight heparin was started. Warfarin was recommenced at 12+1 weeks’ gestation after a small maternal stroke. Neonatal dysmorphic facial features were noted, most obviously nasal hypoplasia (figure 1). The hypoplastic upper airw...

Quality of anticoagulant control and patient experience associated with long-term warfarin in Canadian patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: A multicentre, prospective study
ConclusionsWe showed excellent overall TTR in an observed Canadian cohort, with monitoring through a dedicated anticoagulant clinic being associated with a statistically and clinically significant improvement in TTR. The burden of warfarin therapy on patients ’ health related quality of life or daily work and activities was low.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin Across the Spectrum of Kidney Function: Patient-Level Network Meta-Analyses From COMBINE AF
CONCLUSIONS: Standard-dose DOACs are safer and more effective than warfarin down to a CrCl of at least 25 mL/min. Lower-dose DOACs do not significantly lower the incidence of bleeding or ICH compared with standard-dose DOACs but are associated with a higher incidence of S/SE and death. These findings support the use of standard-dose DOACs over warfarin in patients with kidney dysfunction.PMID:37042255 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062752

Contemporary Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Therapies for Secondary Stroke Prevention: A Narrative Review of Current Literature and Guidelines
AbstractPurpose of ReviewStroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The annual incidence of new or recurrent stroke is approximately 795,000 cases per year in the United States, of which 87% are ischemic in nature. In addition to the management of modifiable high-risk factors to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, antithrombotic agents (antiplatelets and anticoagulants) play an important role in secondary stroke prevention. This review will discuss the published literature on the use of antiplatelets and anticoagulants in secondary prevention of acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), ...

Dabigatran Dosing Proposal for Adults with Atrial Fibrillation: Stress-testing Renal Function Range in Real World Patients
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2023 Apr 7. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2902. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDabigatran is the first of four direct-acting oral anticoagulants approved to prevent stroke in adult patients with atrial fibrillation using a fixed 2-dose scheme compared to warfarin dosing adjusted to a prothrombin time range associated with optimal risk reduction in stroke and serious bleeding. The pivotal phase 3 trial found dabigatran, depending on dose, is superior to warfarin in stroke reduction and similar in bleeding risk while also showing dabigatran efficacy and safety correlate with steady-state plasma concentrations. Since t...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Significant Mitral Stenosis —a Preliminary Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsDOACs were similar to warfarin in the efficacy and safety profiles in patients with AF and concomitant significant MS. Future evidence is expected from other large trials.

Risk Of Pump Thrombosis With Once Daily Enoxaparin For Anticoagulation Bridging In Patients With Heartmate III
Most centers bridge patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) with heparin drip to avoid thromboembolic complications including stroke and pump thrombosis based on data from HeartMate II. Because of improved hemocompatibility of third generation HeartMateIII (HM3), particularly the decreased risk of in-pump thrombosis, outpatient treatment dose of low molecule weight heparin (LWMH) like Enoxaparin has been used to bridge to warfarin when the INR is subtherapeutic. Once daily dosing has been used in select patients with higher bleeding risk.

Lupus, antiphospholipid syndrome, and stroke: An attempt to crossmatch
Lupus. 2023 Mar 20:9612033231165151. doi: 10.1177/09612033231165151. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) or strokes are part of the common thrombotic manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLEs) and Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Such neurological thrombotic events tend to occur in patients with SLE at a higher frequency when Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are present, and tend to involve the large cerebral vessels. The mechanism of stroke in SLE can be driven by complement deposition and neuroinflammation involving the blood-brain barrier although the traditional cardiovascular ri...

Race, ethnicity, sex, and socioeconomic disparities in anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation: A narrative review of contemporary literature
J Natl Med Assoc. 2023 Mar 5:S0027-9684(23)00034-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jnma.2023.02.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the United States and is responsible for 1 in 7 ischemic strokes. While anticoagulation is effective at preventing strokes, prior work has highlighted significant disparities in anticoagulation prescribing. Furthermore, racial, ethnic, sex, and socioeconomic disparities in AF outcomes have been described. As such, we aimed to review recent data on disparities with respect to anticoagulation for AF published between January 2018 and February 2021. The...
