Dec 5th, 2022 - Antithrombotic regimen in patients on oral anticoagulation (OAC) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging. At least, one antiplatelet agent in combination with OAC is recommended after PCI for 6-12 months. Clopidogrel is used m...

Nov 30th, 2022 - ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate US active duty (AD) military members diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) and the temporal trends of systemic anticoagulation (AC). Our secondary objective is to study the AC prescriptions in AD military...

Nov 18th, 2022 - To explore factors associated with anticoagulation (AC) initiation after atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosis. Retrospective cohort study. Urban medical center. Adults with emergency department (ED) diagnosis of new onset AF from 1/1/2017-1/1/2020 d...

Nov 17th, 2022 - Biomarkers specifically related to atrial tissue may increase the understanding of the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) and further improve risk prediction in this setting. Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) is a protein expressed in...

Nov 16th, 2022 - Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the major source of cardiac emboli in patients with NVAF. Anticoagulation (AC) is the standard of care for stroke preventi...

Jul 11th, 2022 - Patients with aortic valve disease were often excluded from the major trials that ushered the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) into practice, largely supplanting warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists (VKA). But they are key to a recent body o...

Mar 9th, 2022 - Older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are included in the group of patients at high risk for stroke. A multidisciplinary approach to managing AF in older patients can mitigate risk for stroke. Oral anticoagulation is the cornerstone of mana...

Oct 15th, 2021 - In a potential case of "less is more," an antithrombotic regimen with only short-term antiplatelets and long-term reliance on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) — but at half the standard dosages — led to an almost 90% drop in risk of thromboembol...

Oct 4th, 2021 - Discovery of substantial atrial fibrillation (AF) is usually an indication to start oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention, but it's far from settled whether such AF is actually a direct cause of thromboembolic stroke. And that has impli...

Aug 30th, 2021 - Abbott's Amplatzer Amulet provided superior left atrial appendage (LAA) closure over the old-guard Watchman (Boston Scientific) device but failed to significantly cut stroke or bleeding rates in patients with atrial fibrillation, despite theoretic...
