Coagulation factor VIII: Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Whole Genome Sequence and Epigenome-Wide Analysis in African Americans.
CONCLUSIONS: Larger sample sizes of AAs will be required to discover additional genetic and epigenetic contributors to FVIII phenotypic variation, which may have consequences for CVD health disparities. PMID: 31985870 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiovascular outcomes at recommended blood pressure targets in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to all middle-aged and elderly hypertensive study patients with high cardiovascular risk.
CONCLUSION: In the high-risk hypertensive patients of the VALUE trial achieving more frequently BP <140/90 mmHg, but not <130/80 mmHg, showed principally the same protective effect on overall and cause-specific cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus and in the general high-risk hypertensive population.

Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant, Warfarin, and ABC Pathway Adherence on Hierarchical Outcomes: Win Ratio Analysis of the COOL-AF Registry
CONCLUSION: This Win Ratio analysis demonstrates the significant benefits of NOACs over warfarin and ABC pathway adherence over nonadherence in reducing the composite outcome in patients with AF.PMID:37625457 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1772773

Relationship between mean platelet volume and mitral annular calcification
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with several cardiovascular disorders including coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerosis, heart failure, and stroke. MAC and atherosclerosis share similar clinical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including age, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to assess the mean platelet volume (MPV), an indicator of platelet activation in patients with MAC. The study group consisted of 101 patients with MAC. An age, sex, and BMI matched control group was composed of 55 patients who were admitted to the echocardiography l...

A multicenter, randomized, active-controlled study to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in patients with iron deficiency anemia.
CONCLUSION: Two 750-mg FCM infusions are safe and superior to oral iron in increasing Hb levels in IDA patients with inadequate oral iron response. PMID: 23772856 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most frequent sustained arrhythmia, is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. The risk of stroke depends on risk factors such as age, hypertension, heart failure, and vascular disease. Thus, antithrombotic therapy is a cornerstone in the management of AF. Warfarin is successfully used to reduce thromboembolic events. More recently, direct thrombin (dabigatran) and factor Xa (apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban) inhibitors have been compared to warfarin in large randomized trials. All new substances have been shown to be non-inferior to warfarin concerning thromboembolic events...

Association between neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio and mitral annular calcification
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is closely related to cardiovascular disorders including coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and stroke. The clinical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including age, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, are the same for MAC and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to assess the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), an inflammatory marker, in patients with MAC. The study group consisted of 117 patients with MAC. Age and sex-matched control group was composed of 38 patients who were admitted to echocardiography laboratory due to su...

Management of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in patients with left ventricular assist devices
Abstract Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have increased the survival of patients with advanced heart failure fourfold. Despite these advances, significant bleeding and thrombotic complications occur. Hemorrhage requiring surgery has been reported in up to 30 % of adults and 50 % of children after LVAD placement. LVAD thrombosis and embolic stroke lead to significant long-term morbidity. Adults are treated with antithrombotic therapy to prevent thrombotic complications, but the amount and intensity of treatment differs between institutions. The goal international normalized ratio for warfarin therapy vari...

Anticoagulation therapy in 2015: where we are and where we are going
Abstract Oral anticoagulants are a mainstay for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thrombosis. In 2015, the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are already replacing warfarin for many indications. Ongoing studies are focused on development of antidotes and specific reversal agents for the NOACs, and assessing their utility for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure, coronary or peripheral artery disease, or embolic stroke of unknown source. This paper (a) lists the current indications for the NOACs; (b) reviews the current impact of the NOACs in each of these indi...

Antithrombotic Therapy for Left Ventricular Assist Devices in Adults: a Systematic Review
ConclusionsOf 977 manuscripts, 24 articles met the inclusion criteria of adults with implanted LVADs where clinical outcomes were defined based on anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet regimen. Most studies reported treatment with unfractionated heparin post‐operatively which was transitioned to a vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Goal INR varied between 1.5‐3.5. Antiplatelet regimens ranged from no treatment to dual therapy. Definition of major bleeding differed between trials and incidence varied between 0% and 58%. The available evidence could not demonstrate a clear benefit of aspirin compared with VKA therapy alone [stroke...
