BackgroundNon-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) significantly increases ischemic stroke and systemic embolism (SE) risks. OAC users predominantly had cardiovascular disease and risk factors, whereas non-OAC users had higher rates of malignancy and dementia. Early OAC initiation (74.9% for all-cause, p-value<0.001 and 1.3%

Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder in adults, affecting more than 5 million people in the U.S., The 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation noted that abstaining from caffeine to prevent heart rhythm disturbances is of no benefit to people with AFib.

Objective Red cell distribution width (RDW) and serum calcium (Ca) levels are predictors of in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the RDW to Ca ratio (RCR) acquired on admission can be used to predict the in-hospital mortality of AMI patients.

Objective To identify factors that independently predict the risk of rehospitalisation and death after acute heart failure (AHF) hospital discharge in a real-world setting, considering death without rehospitalisation as a competing event.

Those with high mRS were more likely to have high school-only education or a diagnosis of dementia on admission compared to those with low mRS. Those with high school-only education were 2.94 Similarly, those with a diagnosis of dementia on admission, were 6.22 Similarly, those with a diagnosis of dementia on admission, were 6.22
