Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Liver Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Oluwadolapo D. Lawal et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic liver disease. The results showed that DOACs as a class were associated with lower risks of hospitalization for ischemic stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding compared to warfarin. However, the outcomes varied between different DOACs and in head-to-head comparisons with warfarin.

Summary: This study found that minimizing or discontinuing anticoagulant therapy before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is beneficial in reducing thromboembolic events, and continuing anticoagulant therapy after the procedure can further decrease the risk of thromboembolism. However, 1.2% of patients may experience major bleeding, and factors such as age over 73 years, dementia, and AF recurrence are associated with this complication.

The results of a large multicenter prospective observational study showed that the incidence of clinically relevant haematoma was low in patients with DOAC interruption, indicating that DOAC management can effectively reduce the risk of pocket haematoma.

Management of oral anticoagulant therapy after intracranial hemorrhage in patients with atrial fibrillation

Fabiana Luca et al.

Summary: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe complication of oral anticoagulants (OACs) and antiplatelet therapy (APT), especially in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The risk of recurrent ICH may be life-threatening, leading to the challenge of initiating or reinitiating OACs in AF patients who survive ICH. Observational studies have shown that treating AF patients who survived ICH with OACs can reduce stroke incidence and mortality without necessarily increasing the risk of hemorrhagic events.

Fabiana Luca et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases have a lower prevalence in women, but a higher mortality rate and poorer prognosis are more common. However, there is a misperception of the real threat of CVD in women, leading to less aggressive treatment and lower rates of diagnostic and interventional procedures. Thus, different gender-specific approaches are needed.

Summary: This study explored the impact of minor bleeds on patient confidence in therapy, adherence to treatment, and quality of life in AF patients using NOACs. The findings showed that, overall, minor bleeds did not significantly impact trust, annoyance, concern, adherence to treatment, and daily life. However, individual patients may experience a higher level of impact.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atrial Fibrillation

Amalia Ioanna Moula et al.

Summary: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, with its incidence increasing with age and comorbidities. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep disorder more commonly found in older men. Previous studies have shown a link between OSA and AF, although the prevalence of OSA in AF patients remains unknown due to underdiagnosis. This meta-analysis investigated the association between OSA and AF, using data from 54,271 patients. A strong link was found between these two disorders, with the incidence of AF being 88% higher in patients with OSA. Age and hypertension were found to independently strengthen this association, indicating that treating OSA may help reduce AF recurrence. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Fabiana Luca et al.

Summary: Cancer patients have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, especially acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The treatment for ACS in cancer patients should be tailored based on their individual conditions, balancing thrombotic and bleeding risks. Early percutaneous coronary intervention is recommended for ACS patients, with drug-eluting stents as the preferred choice. Conservative therapy can be considered for stable cardiovascular disease in cancer patients. Further research is needed to determine optimal strategies for this patient population.
