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...

Telmisartan and Walking Performance in Peripheral Artery Disease
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a morbid manifestation of atherosclerosis that affects an estimated 230 million people worldwide. In the context of an aging population and the increasing rates of diabetes, the prevalence of PAD is expected to increase. Patients with PAD, by virtue of having atherosclerosis, have a heightened risk of myocardial infarction and stroke; thus reducing these risks has been the primary focus of most medical interventions. Although these efforts are warranted, recent evidence has broadened awareness that the dominant morbidity involves the limbs, including functional impairment ...

SGLT2 Inhibitors Are Lifesavers in Heart Failure
The first three trials of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors investigating cardiovascular (CV) safety, as required by the Food and Drug Administration, all revealed an unexpected approximate 30% reduction in heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and at risk for CV disease.1 –3 However, these drugs were not associated with decreased stroke risk or reductions in myocardial infarction. These findings piqued the interest of HF specialists and led to clinical trials specifically investigating the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HF (Fig. 1).

Feasibility of Sentinel Cerebral Embolic Protection Device Deployment During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Cerebral embolic protection has emerged as a preventive measure for procedural stroke in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).1 The Sentinel System (Boston Scientific Corp. Boston, Massachusetts), a 2-filter debris-capturing system, has been the only commercially available protection device in the United States since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 2017. In the Sentinel trial, the largest randomized trial (n = 363) so far, the device was successfully deployed in 94.7% of patients.

Evidence-Based Contraception: Common Questions and Answers
Am Fam Physician. 2022 Sep;106(3):251-259.ABSTRACTPrimary care clinicians are uniquely situated to reduce unintended pregnancy in the context of a patient's medical comorbidities, social circumstance, and gender identity. New evidence regarding contraception use has emerged in recent years. The copper intrauterine device is the most effective option for emergency contraception, with similar effectiveness found for the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, 52 mg, and both offer extended future contraception. Ulipristal given within 120 hours after unprotected intercourse is the most effective oral emergency contrace...
