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.

Cancer Diagnoses Cluster in Bleeders on Anticoagulation Therapy

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- Cancer diagnoses tended to arise more in patients who bled on oral anticoagulants (OACs), a Canadian population-based cohort study found. In Ontario, people with atrial fibrillation (Afib) on OAC therapy had a 21.8% incidence.

Study Demonstrates Abelacimab Significantly Reduced Bleeding in Patients Regardless of Age, Bleeding Risk

DAIC

Patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly older patients, are frequently at a high risk of bleeding. In patients with atrial fibrillation, abelacimab reduced rates of bleeding relative to rivaroxaban regardless of bleeding risk, with greater absolute safety benefit in those at higher bleeding risk.

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.
