Anticoagulation versus placebo for heart failure in sinus rhythm
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the three RCTs, there is no evidence that oral anticoagulant therapy modifies mortality in people with HF in sinus rhythm. The evidence is uncertain if warfarin has any effect on all-cause death compared to placebo or no treatment, but it may increase the risk of major bleeding events. There is no evidence of a difference in the effect of rivaroxaban on all-cause death compared to placebo. It probably reduces the risk of stroke, but probably increases the risk of major bleedings. The available evidence does not support the routine use of anticoagulation in people with HF who remain in sinus rhythm.PMI...

Antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients requiring oral anticoagulant treatment : A meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis found no statistically significant difference between TT and DT with regard to all-cause death and MACE/stroke risk. At the same time, the available data demonstrated that TT increased the risk of major bleeding. If the international normalized ratio is in the target range, the risk of bleeding may be lowered. The data from Asian countries were limited, and therefore we could not assess the difference between TT and DT in Asian populations. Finally,on the basis of our analysis, we do not recommend TT as conventional treatment for patients taking OACs and undergoing percutaneous coronary interventio...

Net Clinical Benefit for Oral Anticoagulation, Aspirin, or No Therapy in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients With 1 Additional Risk Factor of the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score (Beyond Sex)
Whether to anticoagulate patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and 1 stroke risk factor (i.e., CHA2DS2-VASc [congestive heart failure, hypertension, age>75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke, vascular disease, age 65–75 years, and female sex] score = 1 in men, or 2 in women) is controversial, but many studies report ischemic stroke rates of>1.5% per year, even with 1 stroke risk factor (1). We estimated the net clinical benefit (NCB) of aspirin or warfarin compared with no antithrombotic therapy among such patients on the basis of a nationwide Danish cohort, with incident AF diagnosed between 1998 and 2012 (2). Men w...

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in an urban population in India: the Nagpur pilot study
Conclusions The prevalence of AF was low compared with other regions of the world and stroke prophylaxis was underused. A larger study is needed to confirm these findings. This study demonstrates that larger evaluations would be feasible using the community-based techniques employed here.

WITHDRAWN: Antiplatelet agents versus control or anticoagulation for heart failure in sinus rhythm.
CONCLUSIONS: At present there is little evidence from long term RCTs to recommend the use of antiplatelet therapy to prevent thromboembolism in patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm. A possible interaction with ACE inhibitors may reduce the efficacy of aspirin, although this evidence is mainly from retrospective analyses of trial cohorts and two RCTs. There is also no current evidence to support the use of oral anticoagulation (when compared to aspirin/clopidogrel) in patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm. Anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy should be reserved for heart failure patients with other comorbiditie...

Use of concomitant aspirin in patients with atrial fibrillation: Findings from the ROCKET AF trial
Conclusions Aspirin use at baseline was associated with an increased risk for bleeding and all-cause death in ROCKET AF, a risk most pronounced in patients without known CAD. Although these findings may reflect unmeasured clinical factors, further investigation is warranted to determine optimal aspirin use in patients with AF.

Prevention of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Semin Neurol 2017; 37: 316-325 DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1603468Cerebral small vessel disease can cause either ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. Accounting for up to 25% of all strokes, it is also the second biggest contributor to the risk of dementia, and is the most common incidentally discovered finding on brain imaging. There are two main causes of cerebral small vessel disease: arteriolosclerotic small vessel disease (with hypertension as the main modifiable risk factor) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (predominantly caused by β-amyloid deposits limited to the cerebral small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries...

Effectiveness and safety of oral anticoagulants in older patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis
Conclusionswarfarin use was superior to warfarin non-use, aspirin and no antithrombotic therapy in reducing the risk of stroke/TE in older AF patients, but with a possible increase in major bleeding. NOACs were superior to warfarin for stroke/TE prevention, with reduced risk of major bleeding.

Dual antiplatelet therapy is safe and efficient after left atrial appendage closure.
CONCLUSIONS: LAAC followed by DAPT seems to be a safe and efficient alternative for stroke prevention in patients with NVAF and contraindications to anticoagulation therapy. This strategy may provide a significant reduction of events such as stroke and bleeding versus the score-predicted rate. PMID: 29350390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Patients without Prior Atrial Fibrillation: Implications for Expanding the Indications for Anticoagulation
Conclusions Patients without diagnosed AF but with certain risk factors were at a particularly high cardiovascular risk and may require new prevention approaches. In addition to the ongoing trials, future trials in other high-risk populations, e.g., diabetes and chronic kidney disease may be warranted.

Left atrial appendage occlusion with the AMPLATZER ™ Amulet™ device: one-year follow-up from the prospective global Amulet Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In the global prospective Amulet Registry of patients at high-risk of stroke and bleeding, the annualised ischaemic stroke rate was 2.9%. The LAA was sealed in 98.4% after 1-3 months and device related thrombus was observed in 1.7% of cases with only a minority of all patients on anticoagulation treatment.
