Identification of anticancer drugs associated with atrial fibrillation: analysis of the WHO pharmacovigilance database

Joachim Alexandre et al.

Summary: The emergence of novel anticancer therapies has led to signals of cardiotoxicity, including atrial fibrillation (AF), but data on the liability of anticancer drugs in inducing AF are scarce. A study using the World Health Organization's individual case safety report database, VigiBase(R), identified 19 anticancer drugs significantly associated with AF, with further confirmation needed through dedicated prospective clinical trials. The findings suggest that anticancer drugs themselves could be independent risk factors for AF development, particularly in hematologic malignancies.

Effectiveness and Safety of Oral Anticoagulants Among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Active Cancer

Steven Deitelzweig et al.

Summary: This study found that among patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and concurrent cancer, apixaban was associated with lower risk of stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding compared to warfarin, while dabigatran and rivaroxaban had similar risks. There were variations in risk among different NOACs, but consistent treatment effects were seen across different types of cancer.

Summary: In European AF patients, three main clusters were identified, differentiated by the presence of comorbidities. Both non-cardiac and cardiac comorbidities clusters were associated with an increased risk of major adverse outcomes.

Thromboembolism, mortality, and bleeding in 2,435,541 atrial fibrillation patients with and without cancer: A nationwide cohort study

Daniele Pastori et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of cancer on clinical outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, as well as the performance of HAS-BLED and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores. The results showed that cancer increased all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage risk in AF patients. The risk of ischemic stroke varied among different cancer types, with some showing higher bleeding risk compared to thromboembolic risk.

Optimizing indices of atrial fibrillation susceptibility and burden to evaluate atria fibrillation severity, risk and outcomes

Giuseppe Boriani et al.

Summary: Atrial fibrillation presents in various patterns and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, which is related to the duration of AF episodes. Monitoring AF burden and understanding factors that condition AF susceptibility are important for managing the disease and predicting adverse outcomes.

Beyond the 2020 guidelines on atrial fibrillation of the European society of cardiology

Giuseppe Boriani et al.

Summary: The latest ESC guidelines on AF focus on improving detailed characterization and management of patients, suggesting a comprehensive approach for practitioners rather than simply prescribing oral anticoagulation or deciding on a rhythm or rate control strategy.

Clinical Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With a History of Cancer Treated With Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants A Nationwide Cohort Study

Yi-Hsin Chan et al.

Summary: This study found that in patients with atrial fibrillation and cancer, NOACs have a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, venous thrombosis, and major bleeding compared to warfarin. The results support the consideration of thromboprophylaxis with NOACs instead of warfarin for this patient population.

Giuseppe Boriani et al.

Summary: The survey highlights the challenges in managing anticoagulation in patients with AF and active cancer, with substantial heterogeneity in therapeutic choices. Despite the emerging role of DOACs, the substantial use of LMWH continues, despite the lack of long-term data on thromboprophylaxis in AF.
