ISCHEMIC STROKE AND MAJOR BLEEDING WHILE ON DIRECT ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS IN NA ÏVE PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: IMPACT OF RESUMPTION OR DISCONTINUATION OF ANTICOAGULANT TREATMENT. A population-based study.
We assessed the cumulative incidence of recurrent stroke, major bleeding and all-cause mortality associated with restarting antithrombotic treatment, in patients experiencing an anticoagulation-related event (stroke or major bleeding), occurred during anticoagulation therapy for AF.Methods and Results.We performed a retrospective population-based analysis on linked claims data of patients resident in the Veneto Region, treated with DOACs for AF and discharged (2013 −2020) from the hospital for stroke, intracranial haemorrhage (ICH), and major bleeding.

Influence of Exercise Training on the Left Atrium:Implications for Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure and Stroke
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Jul 28. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00322.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe left atrium (LA) plays a critical role in receiving pulmonary venous return and modulating left ventricular (LV) filling. With the onset of exercise, LA function contributes to the augmentation in stroke volume. Due to the growing focus on atrial imaging, there is now evidence that structural remodelling and dysfunction of the LA is associated with adverse outcomes including incident cardiovascular disease. In patients with established disease, pathological changes in atrial structure and function are associate...

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Among Patients With Diabetes (Insights from a National Database)
Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for stroke. Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to anticoagulation for patients with high risk of bleeding. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with adverse events after cardiac procedures. We sought to compare procedural and hospital outcomes in patients who underwent LAAC with and without DM. The Nationwide Inpatient Database was queried for patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent LAAC between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019.
