Antithrombotic strategy in cancer patients comorbid with acute coronary syndrome and atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

It has been shown that patients with cancer have a longer expected life duration, benefiting from advanced medical therapy. A growing number of studies have elucidated the association between cancer and CVD. Moreover, different types of cancer have distinct risks, which may increase the complexity of antithrombotic therapy.

PO-02-173 IMPACT OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTED BY CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ON EMBOLIC STROKE EVENTS IN CANCER PATIENTS

HeartRhythm

Cancer patients have a higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) than general population, however, the link between cancer and AF is not fully understood. The association between AF detected by implanted cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and the incidence of embolic stroke has been reported.

PO-01-082 RHYTHM CONTROL BETTER PREVENTS CANCER DEATH THAN RATE CONTROL STRATEGIES IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A NATIONWIDE COHORT STUDY

HeartRhythm

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia which leads to morbidity and mortality. Whether rhythm control also reduces the risks of cancer death remains unclear. The longterm impact of rhythm control on cancer risks is still unknown.

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. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP230-ATP230, February 1, 2024. days, p<0.001).

Interaction of genetic risk and lifestyle on the incidence of atrial fibrillation

Heart BMJ

Background The relationship between combined genetic predisposition and lifestyle and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. Methods We included AF cases and a randomly drawn subcohort of 4040 participants from the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort.

Atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia and atrioventricular node re-entrant tachycardia in a patient with cancer under chemotherapy: a case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atrial tachyarrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, are most common, but ventricular arrhythmias, including those related to treatment-induced QT prolongation, and bradyarrhythmias can also occur. Here, we report a patient with new-onset AVRT/AVNRT and lung cancer who underwent chemotherapy.
