Usefulness of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels for Stroke Risk Prediction in Anticoagulated Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In real-world cohort of anticoagulated patients with AF, NT-proBNP provided complementary prognostic information to an established clinical risk score (CHA2DS2–VASc) for the prediction of stroke/systemic embolism. NT-proBNP was also predictive of all-cause mortality, suggesting that this biomarker may potentially be used to refine clinical risk stratification in anticoagulated patients with AF.

Factors Associated with Proximal Carotid Axis Occlusion in Patients with Acute Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: Female sex, advanced age, history of systemic embolism, and higher BNP level were independently associated with more proximal carotid axis occlusion. Patients with AF having these factors may be prone to have relatively large thrombi in the heart.

Effect of Adherence to Oral Anticoagulants on Risk of Stroke and Major Bleeding Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology
Conclusions Adherence to anticoagulation is poor in practice and may be modestly improved with NOACs. Adherence to therapy appears to be most important in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2, whereas the benefits of anticoagulation may not outweigh the harms in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score 0 or 1.

Outcomes With Edoxaban Versus Warfarin in Patients With Previous Cerebrovascular Events: Findings From ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 (Effective Anticoagulation With Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48) Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Patients with atrial fibrillation with previous IS/TIA are at high risk of recurrent thromboembolism and bleeding. HDER is at least as effective and is safer than warfarin, regardless of the presence or the absence of previous IS or TIA. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00781391.

Have clinicians adopted the use of brain MRI for patients with TIA and minor stroke?
Conclusions: Within a national health system, about 40% of patients with TIA/minor stroke had MRI performed within 2 days. Performance of MRI appeared to be influenced by several patient and facility-level variables, suggesting that there has been partial acceptance of the previous guideline that endorsed MRI for patients with TIA.

Risk Factors for Acute Heart Failure and Impact on In-Hospital Mortality after Stroke
Background: In the acute phase of stroke, some patients develop cardiac events. It could be fatal in their clinical courses. We aimed to investigate acute heart failure after stroke onset and stratify the patients by establishing a predictive model. Methods: This single-center, observational study included stroke patients diagnosed at the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery from January 2013 to December 2014. Baseline characteristics and clinical findings on admission were analyzed for acute heart failure after stroke.

Understanding Coordinator Roles in Acute Stroke Care: A National Survey
Globally, stroke is a major contributor to death and disability.1 Evidence-based care in hospital after an acute stroke ensures improved survival and reduced disability, but care quality can vary.2,3 Clinical coordinators have an essential role in improving best-practice in trauma, cancer, diabetes, and heart failure conditions.4-7 Within stroke, coordinator roles are not new; in 1970, a study outlining the ‘Stroke Team’ model was published, which included a physician, nurse-coordinator and physical therapist.

Association Between Oral Anticoagulants and Stroke Severity at Onset in Elderly Patients with Cardioembolic Stroke Due to Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
The prevention of cardioembolic stroke is an important public health priority in Japan due to its high prevalence in elderly individuals. Compared to their younger counterparts, elderly patients with cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have multiple comorbidities, a higher risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia and heart failure, and cognitive impairments (e.g., dementia or delirium), which may adversely affect their ability to participate in active rehabilitation. These factors negatively affect clinical outcomes, and many elderly stroke survivors require long-term care despite the early implementation of intensive therapy.

Anemia is Associated with Poor Outcomes in Patients with Less Severe Ischemic Stroke
Anemia is a known predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with such vascular conditions as acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. The role of anemia in patients with acute ischemic stroke is less well understood. We sought to examine the association between anemia at hospital admission and the combined outcome of in-hospital mortality and discharge to hospice in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We evaluated data from a retrospective cohort of consecutive ischemic stroke patients presenting within 48 hours of symptom onset at 5 hospitals between 1998 and 2003. Anemi...

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction, Heart Failure, and the Risk of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the ARISTOTLE Trial Original Articles
Conclusions— Patients with LVSD (with/without HF) had a higher risk of SSE or death (but similar rate of SSE) compared with patients with HF but preserved LV systolic function; both had a greater risk than patients without either HF or LVSD. Apixaban reduced the risk of both outcomes more than warfarin in all 3 patient groups. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00412984.

Intracranial Hemorrhage Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Anticoagulated With Warfarin or Rivaroxaban: The Rivaroxaban Once Daily, Oral, Direct Factor Xa Inhibition Compared With Vitamin K Antagonism for Prevention of Stroke and Embolism Trial in Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Among patients with atrial fibrillation treated with anticoagulation, the risk of ICH was higher among Asians, blacks, the elderly, and in those with previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, increased diastolic blood pressure, and reduced platelet count or serum albumin at baseline. The risk of ICH was significantly lower in patients with heart failure and in those who were randomized to rivaroxaban instead of warfarin. The external validity of these findings requires testing in other atrial fibrillation populations.
