Predicting Adverse Events beyond Stroke and Bleeding with the ABC-Stroke and ABC-Bleeding Scores in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Murcia AF Project.
CONCLUSION:  In AF patients, the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding scores demonstrated similar predictive ability for outcomes beyond stroke and bleeding, including MI, acute HF, a composite of cardiovascular events, and all-cause deaths. This is consistent with nonspecificity of biomarkers that predict "sick" patients or poor prognosis overall. PMID: 32506417 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention across the Stroke Spectrum: Progress and Prospects.
Abstract Multiple randomized controlled trials and many real-world evidence studies have consistently shown that non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are preferable to vitamin K antagonists for thromboembolic stroke prevention in the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, their role in the management of patients with AF and comorbidities, as well as in other patient populations with a high risk of stroke, such as patients with prior embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) and those with atherosclerosis, is less clear. There is now increasing evidence suggesting that NOACs...

Impact of pre-admission treatment with non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants on stroke severity in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsWe report a positive impact of pre-admission NOAC on ischemic stroke severity, which is particularly remarkable in light of the increased prevalence of prior stroke and lower rates of thrombolysis in this patient population.

Adequacy of preadmission oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists and ischemic stroke severity and outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation
In conclusion, optimally anticoagulated patients with AF have more favorable functional outcome after stroke and a trend for less severe stroke whereas patients with subtherapeutic anticoagulation have similar stroke severity and outcome with those on no treatment.

Stroke Severity in Patients on Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants with a Standard or Insufficient Dose.
CONCLUSION:  Use of warfarin with a therapeutic intensity or standard-dosed NOACs was associated with a relatively mild stroke in the patients with NVAF. PMID: 30453351 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship between temporal rhythm-based classification of atrial fibrillation and stroke: real-world vs. clinical trial
ConclusionsOverall, our results support the need for anticoagulation based on thromboembolic risk profile rather than AF type.

2021 Focused Update Consensus Guidelines of the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society on Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: Executive Summary
Thromb Haemost. 2021 Nov 13. doi: 10.1055/s-0041-1739411. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe consensus of the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) has been published in 2017 which provided useful clinical guidance for cardiologists, neurologists, geriatricians, and general practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region. In these years, many important new data regarding stroke prevention in AF were reported. The practice guidelines subcommittee members comprehensively reviewed updated information on stroke prevention in AF, and summarized them in this 2021 focused update of the...

Management of oral anticoagulation in very old patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation related acute ischemic stroke
AbstractThe optimal management of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in the acute phase of non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)-related acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains controversial, especially in very old patients. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the practical management of OAC in this context. We conducted an observational retrospective study on patients 85-years old and older admitted to two Italian hospitals for NVAF-related AIS. For each patient, clinical and brain computed tomography data were recorded. Type of OAC (vitamin K antagonists, VKAs or Direct Oral Anticoagulants, DOACs), dosage and starting ...

Incidence and consequences of resuming oral anticoagulant therapy following hematuria and risks of ischemic stroke and major bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation
In conclusion, more and more patients who suffer a hematuria while on oral anticoagulant therapy resume NOAC. Patients resuming NOAC have similar risks of ischemic stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding compared with those resuming VKA.

Gaps in translation from trials to practice: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
The objectives of this review are to 1) identify gaps in our current knowledge regarding use of these single target anticoagulant drugs; 2) outline the potential implications of these gaps for clinical practice, and thereby, 3) highlight areas of research to further optimise their use for stroke prevention in AF.

Safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant treatment compared with warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who develop acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack: a multicenter prospective cohort study (daVinci study)
Abstract The safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) compared with warfarin in treating patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who developed acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (AIS/TIA), particularly those receiving tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy, remains unclear. Between April 2012 and December 2014, we conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study to assess the current clinical practice for treating such patients. We divided the patients into two groups according to the administration of oral anticoagulants (warfarin or NOACs) and tPA therapy. ...

Reversal of dabigatran using idarucizumab: single center experience in four acute stroke patients
AbstractDabigatran is a direct thrombin inhibitor and a non-vitamin-K-antagonizing oral anticoagulant, approved for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolization in atrial fibrillation. Idarucizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that was recently approved for antagonizing the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran. Here, we report the use of idarucizumab in four acute stroke patients treated with dabigatran in order to enable intravenous thrombolysis in three patients and emergent trepanation in one patient with space occupying subdural hematoma. Since experience on the optimal management of acute stroke patients un...

Anticoagulation use and the risk of stroke and major bleeding in patients on hemodialysis: From the VIVALDI, a population-based prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Although the non-randomized nature of the study is prone to bias, anticoagulation with VKA was not associated with decreased thromboembolic risk, but associated with increased risk of major bleeding and may be net-harmful to patients with AF on HD.PMID:34418291 | DOI:10.1111/jth.15508
