Lack of association between proton pump inhibitors and adverse events in patients taking clopidogrel and aspirin
Commentary on Douglas IJ, Evans SJ, Hingorani AD, et al.. Clopidogrel and interaction with proton pump inhibitors: comparison between cohort and within person study designs. BMJ 2012;345:e4388 Context Clopidogrel inhibits the P2Y12 platelet receptor and is used in patients with acute coronary syndromes or ischaemic stroke to prevent recurrent vascular events. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), however, have been shown to reduce the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel upon platelet inhibition, and have been linked in retrospective studies to a higher rate of ischaemic outcomes in patients taking clopidogrel. Methods A total o...

Thromboprophylaxis in heart failure patients with sinus rhythm: aspirin and warfarin lead to similar cardiovascular outcomes
Commentary on: Homma S, Thompson JL, Pullicino PM, et al.. WARCEF Investigators. Warfarin and aspirin in patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm. N Engl J Med 2012;366:1859–69. Context Chronic heart failure (CHF) is common, affecting 1–2% of the population and 10% of people >70 years. Patients with CHF have an increased risk of thromboembolism. Those with atrial fibrillation (AF) should receive warfarin but whether CHF patients with sinus rhythm (SR), whose risk is 1.5–3.5%,1 should receive thromboprophylaxis is unclear. Previous studies, Warfarin/Aspirin Study in Heart failure (warfarin, asp...
