Comparing Efficacy and Safety Between Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Taking Direct Oral Anticoagulants or Warfarin After Direct Oral Anticoagulant Failure

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAn increased risk of recurrent stroke is noted in patients with atrial fibrillation despite direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use. 0.45] for rivaroxaban), and a 69% to 83% reduced risk of net composite outcomes (aHR, 0.25 [95% CI, 0.18–0.35] We identified 3759 patients with DOAC failure. 0.41] for rivaroxaban).ConclusionsIn

Abstract 4135095: Outcomes of Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Thrombocytopenia: Insights From a Nationwide Database

Circulation

Background:While anticoagulation is crucial for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients to prevent ischemic events, those with thrombocytopenia have a potential increased risk of bleeding. The primary outcome was all-cause inpatient mortality.

Effectiveness, utilisation and cost associated with implantable loop recorders versus external monitors after ischaemic or cryptogenic stroke

Open Heart

Objective Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are increasingly used for long-term rhythm monitoring after ischaemic and cryptogenic stroke, with the goal of detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) and subsequent initiation of oral anticoagulation to reduce risk of adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract TP230: Atrial Fibrillation and Short-Term Outcomes After Cancer-Related Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer are both independently associated with worse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Few studies have evaluated the impact of AF on outcomes of cancer-related stroke. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The primary exposure was a diagnosis of AF.

Urban‐Rural Differences in the Outcomes of Patients Hospitalized for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Infection in the United States

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Despite guideline recommendations for complete device removal, disparities in healthcare access and resource availability between urban and rural settings may influence patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate ruralurban disparities in the management and outcomes of patients hospitalized with CIED infections. in rural hospitals.

PO-04-087 DOES THE PRIOR PLACEMENT OF A LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION (LAAO) DEVICE HAVE AN IMPACT ON PERI-PROCEDURAL COMPLICATIONS AND IN-HOSPITAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF) ? INSIGHTS FROM NATIONAL INPATIENT SAMPLE: 2016-2020

HeartRhythm

This led to the development of LAAO devices which serve to occlude the left atrial appendage, a small portion of the left atrium where up to 91% of the AF-related thrombi form. Oral Anticoagulation, often necessary for the treatment of patients with AF presents a problem for patients at high risk for bleeding.
