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.

Real-World Use of Apixaban for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—The use of oral anticoagulant therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation has been transformed by the availability of the nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants. Real-world studies on the use of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants would help elucidate their effectiveness and safety in daily clinical practice. Apixaban was the third nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants introduced to clinical practice, and increasing real-world studies have been published. Our aim was to summarize current evidence about real-world studies on apixaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibril...

Risk of Stroke Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated with Rivaroxaban and Warfarin
In a previous real-world study, rivaroxaban reduced the risk of stroke overall and severe stroke compared with warfarin in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The aim of this study was to assess the reproducibility in a different database of our previously observed results (Alberts M, et al. Stroke. 2020;51:549-555) on the risk of severe stroke among NVAF patients in a different population treated with rivaroxaban or warfarin.

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.

Rate of Antithrombotic Drug use and Clinical Outcomes According to CHADS2 Scores in Patients With an Initial Cardioembolic Stroke who had Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
This study investigated the relationship between CHADS2 scores and the rate of antithrombotic drug use and clinical outcomes in patients with an initial cardioembolic stroke who had nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Methods: In 234 patients (135 men and 99 women; mean age [±SD] 76 ± 11 years) with initial cardiogenic cerebral embolism with NVAF who were admitted to our hospital between April 2007 and March 2011, the CHADS2 score, use of warfarin, and clinical outcomes were retrospectively investigated.Results: CHADS2 scores were as follows: 0 points, n = 21 (9%); 1 point, n = 72 (31%); 2 points, n = 92 (39%); 3 poin...

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.

Significant Underuse of Warfarin in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the China National Stroke Registry
Conclusions: We found that warfarin was significantly underused in patients with known NVAF in China. Age and CHD and prestroke antiplatelet therapy were related factors.

Risk of warfarin-associated intracerebral haemorrhage after ischaemic stroke is low and unchanged during the 2000s
Commentary on: Asberg A, Erisksson M, Henriksson KM, et al.. Warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage after ischemic stroke. Stroke 2014;45:2118–20. Context Since its isolation during the early half of the 20th century from the mouldy hay responsible for ‘sweet clover disease’ in cattle, warfarin has become the most widely used oral anticoagulant.1 Indications include atrial fibrillation (AF), mechanical prosthetic valves and venous thromboembolism treatment.2 Warfarin reduces stroke risk in patients with AF by nearly two-thirds; AF accounts for 20% of ischaemic strokes, which tend to be more severe t...

Renal Function and the Risk of Stroke and Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—We sought to determine the risk of stroke/thromboembolism and bleeding associated with reduced renal function in patients with atrial fibrillation and the risk of stroke and bleeding associated with warfarin treatment in specific estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) groups.Methods—We conducted a register-based cohort study and included patients discharged with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation from 1997 to 2011 with available eGFR.Results—A total of 17 349 patients were identified with eGFR available at baseline. All levels of lower eGFR were associated with higher risk of stroke/thrombo...

A Therapeutic International Normalized Ratio Results in Smaller Infarcts and Better Outcomes for Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Background: Prior studies have shown that warfarin is effective for both primary and secondary stroke prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation. It is also known that those on warfarin with atrial fibrillation often have poorer long-term poststroke outcomes, possibly because cardioembolic strokes tend to be larger and more severe. Less is known regarding the direct effect of the international normalized ratio (INR) value at the time of stroke on severity or long-term functional status. Methods: We prospectively followed a consecutive series of 112 patients presenting to our institution with acute ischemic stroke b...
