Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale to prevent stroke recurrence in patients with otherwise unexplained ischaemic stroke: Expert consensus of the French Neurovascular Society and the French Society of Cardiology.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a big step forward that will benefit many patients has been taken with recent trials, many questions remain unanswered. Pending results from further studies, decision-making regarding management of patients with PFO-associated ischaemic stroke should be based on a close coordination between neurologists/stroke specialists and cardiologists.

Thromboembolic, Bleeding, and Mortality Risks among Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Dual Antiplatelet Therapy versus Oral Anticoagulants: A Population-Based Study
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin plus clopidogrel is used for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) when patients refuse to use oral anticoagulants (OAC) in clinical practice. However, there are limited clinical data comparing these treatments.

Real-World Relationship Between Proton Pump Inhibitors and Cerebro-Cardiovascular Outcomes Independent of Clopidogrel.
In this study, we aimed to assess the association between PPIs and cerebro-cardiovascular outcomes independent of clopidogrel.Systematic searches were conducted in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase databases for all relevant studies up to August 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) with its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were abstracted and pooled using the random-effects model.A total of 14 observational studies (13 cohort studies and 1 case-control study) were identified. Compared with non-PPI users, PPI users experienced higher risks of stroke (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.08-1.36), myocardial infarction (MI; OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.14-1....

Acute Limb Ischemia in Peripheral Artery Disease: Insights from EUCLID.
CONCLUSIONS: Prior peripheral revascularization, baseline atrial fibrillation, and lower ABI identify PAD patients at heightened risk for ALI, an event associated with subsequent cardiovascular and limb-related morbidity and mortality.

Time Course for Benefit and Risk of Clopidogrel and Aspirin after Acute Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Ischemic Stroke: A Secondary Analysis from the POINT Randomized Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The benefit of clopidogrel-aspirin occurs predominantly within the first 21 days, and outweighs the low, but ongoing risk of major hemorrhage. When considered with the results of CHANCE, a similar trial treating with clopidogrel-aspirin for 21 days and showing no increase in major hemorrhage, these results suggest limiting clopidogrel-aspirin use to 21 days may maximize benefit and reduce risk after high-risk TIA or minor ischemic stroke.

Contemporary Antiplatelet Therapy and Clinical Outcomes of Japanese Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction 　- Results From the Prospective Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (JAMIR).
CONCLUSIONS: The present real-world database of the JAMIR demonstrated that the potent P2Y12-inhibitor prasugrel showed comparable rates of 1-year ischemic events to clopidogrel, but the risk of bleeding was lower with prasugrel than with clopidogrel.

Mean platelet volume and coronary artery disease
Purpose of review To critically review the literature describing links between mean platelet volume (MPV) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We will focus on coronary artery disease (CAD). The MPV is measured routinely as part of a routine blood count. Recent findings There is accumulating evidence showing that the MPV may predict CVD, as well as outcomes in patients with CAD. There is also evidence linking MPV and comorbidities (e.g. diabetes mellitus and impaired glycaemic control) that are expected in patients with CAD. The effect on MPV of drugs commonly used to treat CAD has not been clarified, but there is some e...

Aspirin plus Clopidogrel versus Aspirin Mono-Therapy for Ischemic Stroke: A Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of clopidogrel to aspirin for patients with TIA or IS appeared to significantly reduce the risk of IS recurrence with a possible increase in the risk of bleeding compared with aspirin alone. PMID: 31112048 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical Outcomes of Antithrombotic Strategies for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
This study aims to explore the best antithrombotic strategy for AF patients after PCI based on a network meta-analysis. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018093928). The PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched to identify clinical trials concerning antithrombotic therapy for AF patients with PCI from inception to April 2018. Pairwise and network meta-analysis were conducted to compare clinical outcomes of different antithrombotic therapy. The primary endpoint was major bleeding. Fifteen studies including 16,382 patients were identified with follow-up ranging from 3 to 12 months. Non-vitamin K oral an...

Ticagrelor in patients with heart failure after acute coronary syndromes—Insights from the PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes (PLATO) trial
ConclusionsIn patients with ACS, ticagrelor is more efficacious in protecting against new ischemic events and mortality than clopidogrel irrespective of the presence of HF. There is no difference between ticagrelor or clopidogrel treatment in new-onset HF post-ACS.

Association between High Platelet Reactivity Following Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and Ischemic Events in Japanese Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Stent Implantation.
CONCLUSION: HTPR was significantly associated with adverse ischemic outcomes at 1 year after PCI in Japanese patients receiving maintenance DAPT, indicating its potential as a prognostic indicator of clinical outcomes in this high-risk patient population.

Secondary Prevention with Antithrombotic Therapies in Stable Ischemic Heart Disease Patients: a Review
In conclusion, the evidence thus far has not been significant enough for the American College of Cardiology to recommend the incorporation of oral anticoagulants in the management of stable ischemic heart disease patients, in contrast to aspirin and clopidogrel. As the antithrombotic and antiischemic properties of these newer agents seem evident, so does their potential for increase in risk of bleeding events. Doctors have to individually tailor antithrombotic medication decisions based on the patient ’s risk-benefit profile.

Outcomes Among Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, And Ticagrelor In Stemi Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention From The Total Trial
ConclusionsIn this observational analysis of STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, ticagrelor was associated with improved outcomes compared to clopidogrel and prasugrel. An appropriately powered randomized trial is needed to confirm these findings.

Duration of Clopidogrel-Based Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention 　- A Real-World Observation in Taiwan From 2012 to 2015.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that short duration of DAPT (≤9 months) was common (42.1%) in Taiwan for ACS patients undergoing PCI. DAPT ≤9 months increased the risk of the primary outcome. PMID: 31061379 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of CYP2C19 Polymorphisms With Clopidogrel Reactivity and Clinical Outcomes in Chronic Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite associations betweenCYP2C19variants and on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity, there was no significant difference in rates of CVEs in the chronic stroke phase among the 3 clopidogrel-metabolizing groups ofCYP2C19variants. PMID: 31006731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
