The modifying effect of the MTHFR genotype on the association between folic acid supplementation and pulse wave velocity: Findings from the CSPPT
ConclusionIn a subgroup of Chinese hypertensive patients who had received 5 ‐year antihypertensive therapy, increases in folate status were associated with higher reductions in PWV, and individuals with the CC genotype showed greatest PWV response to folic acid supplementation.

Predicting long ‐term ischemic events using routine clinical parameters in patients with coronary artery disease: The OPT‐CAD risk score
ConclusionsAmong CAD patients, a risk score based on 10 baseline clinical variables performed better than the GRACE risk score in predicting long ‐term ischemic events. However, further research is needed to assess the value of the OPT‐CAD score in guiding the management of antiplatelet therapy for patients with CAD.

Safety and efficacy of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsUse of NOACs compared to VKAs significantly reduced the risk of bleeding in patients with AF ablation. Similarly, the risk of bleeding was lower with uninterrupted NOACs than with uninterrupted VKAs, and with interrupted NOACs than with interrupted VKAs. The rate of thromboembolic complications was extremely low in both study groups without any differences.

Warfarin prescription in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and one non –gender‐related risk factor (CHA2DS2VASc 1 or 2): A treatment dilemma
ConclusionWe found an elevated risk of major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage in NVAF individuals treated with warfarin with 1 NGR risk factor for stroke. These data call for caution when treating with warfarin these individuals.

The relationship between knowledge, health literacy, and adherence among patients taking oral anticoagulants for stroke thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation
ConclusionSignificant correlations between health literacy, OAC knowledge, and adherence were observed, and these relationships should to be considered by health professionals responsible for monitoring patients who are prescribed anticoagulants. We also observed serious gaps in OAC knowledge. Interventions designed to optimize the outcomes of anticoagulant treatment need to address these factors.

Gender ‐related differences in antiplatelet treatment patterns and outcome: Insights from the GReekAntiPlatElet Registry
ConclusionsIn a contemporary “real‐life” cohort of patients with ACS treated with PCI and focusing on antiplatelet treatment 1‐year ischemic outcome does not differ by gender, while women do present more frequently not actionable bleeding events.

Effect of postprocedural full ‐dose infusion of bivalirudin on acute stent thrombosis in patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: Outcomes in a large real‐world population
ConclusionPost‐PCI full‐dose bivalirudin infusion is safe and has a trend to protect against acute ST in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI in real‐world settings.

The Tasmanian Atrial Fibrillation Study: Transition to Direct Oral Anticoagulants 2011 ‐2015
ConclusionsDOACs rapidly became the most commonly prescribed class of antithrombotic medications in patients with AF soon after they became widely available. Warfarin and antiplatelet prescribing declined significantly, although a substantial proportion of patients continued to be prescribed antiplatelet therapy. Patients who were initiated on DOACs were typically younger with fewer comorbid conditions compared to those initiated on warfarin therapy.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
