Andexanet Alfa and its Clinical Application
Heart Int. 2020 Jun 19;14(1):20-23. doi: 10.17925/HI.2020.14.1.20. eCollection 2020.ABSTRACTFactor Xa (FXa) inhibitors are widely used for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, and for the treatment and prevention of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Compared with warfarin, individual FXa inhibitors are associated with a lower risk of major bleeding. Nevertheless, bleeding remains a feared complication of any anticoagulant therapy. Despite their demonstrated safety, implementation of FXa inhibitors in clinical practice may have been limited by the lack of a specific antidote. Rece...

Successful use of therapeutic anticoagulation therapy in two patients with moderate stroke from the second day of onset: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSION: As a result of this case report, clinical improvement has not been associated with hemorrhagic sequelae of anticoagulant administration on the first day. At this point, we recommend conducting a trial to study the effect of early application of anticoagulants from the first day on clinical outcome, recurrence, and hemorrhagic transfusion of stroke.PMID:36268411 | PMC:PMC9577847 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.104726

Sixteen-Syndrome in a Young Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
This report describes a case of 16 syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A 28 year old woman with underlying lupus was presented with sudden left side body weakness and diplopia. Examination showed features of 16 syndrome with one and a half syndrome, facial diplegia and left hemiparesis. Neuroimaging revealed an acute infarct of bilateral dorsal pons. The patient was placed on antiplatelet therapy. However, she developed left leg deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after one week. She was then given subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin, followed by warfarin and cycles of cyclophosphamide. Her hemipa...

High rates of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients observed in a large multi-specialty health system in the Northeast
ConclusionsWe show dramatically increased OAC usage among patients with AF and that NOACs comprise the large majority of OACs compared with previous studies. This suggests an association between widespread adoption of NOACs and increased oral anticoagulation rates. Future directions include assessing barriers to oral anticoagulation and developing interventions to reduce disparity in OAC use between clinics.

A rare cause of abdominal pain managed unconventionally: acute renal infarction caused by atrial fibrillation: a case report
ConclusionsAcute renal infarction from thromboembolism is a rare but serious complication of arterial fibrillation. More efficient and different options for intervention methods will benefit the treatment of this disease. Here, we report a combination therapeutic method that has not been used in acute renal infarction associated with arterial fibrillation, and which restored renal perfusion and prevented long-term kidney injury.

Characterization of baseline clinical factors associated with incident worsening kidney function in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: the Hokuriku-Plus AF Registry
AbstractEvidence suggests that atrial fibrillation (AF) could increase the risk of worsening kidney function (WKF) which is linked to an increased risk of stroke, bleeding, and death in AF patients. However, limited data exist regarding the factors that could lead to WKF in these patients. Therefore, we sought to identify the potential factors associated with the development of WKF in patients with non-valvular AF (NVAF). We analyzed prospectively recruited 1122 NVAF patients [men 71.9%, median age 73.0  years (interquartile range: 66.0–79.0)] with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 15 mL/mi...

Using primary care data to assess comparative effectiveness and safety of apixaban and rivaroxaban in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the UK: an observational cohort study
Conclusions Among patients with nonvalvular AFib, apixaban was as effective as rivaroxaban in reducing rate of stroke and safer in terms of major bleeding episodes. This head-to-head comparison supports conclusions drawn from indirect comparisons of DOAC trials against warfarin and demonstrates the potential for real-world evidence to fill evidence gaps and reduce uncertainty in both health technology assessment decision-making and clinical guideline development.

Reply to the Comment on “Comparison of Dabigatran Versus Warfarin Treatment for Prevention of New Cerebral Lesions in Valvular Atrial Fibrillation”
We thank Dr. Abrahim et al for their interest and valuable comment on our study.1 In the methodology section, we intended to recruit stable patients who were able to use the standard anticoagulation in the outpatient setting. Therefore, we excluded the patients with acute stroke within 2  weeks or patients with high-bleeding risk. All the patients received standard rate control therapy according to the relevant guideline.2 The proportion of medications for rate control such as β blocker (56% of overall patients), calcium channel blocker (24%), or digitalis (31%) were already prese nted, and the mean heart rate was 74.1 ± 14.2 beats/min.
