Comparison of Spatio‐Temporal Dispersion Electrogram Ablation and Low Voltage Zone Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
This study compared STDE‐guided versus LVZ‐guided ablation beyond PVI in 107 persistent AF patients. At 24 months, the AF‐free survival rate was significantly higher in the STDE group (76.3% vs. 58.4%, p=0.027). STDE ablation independently reduced recurrence risk (HR: 0.29, p=0.004), providing superior clinical efficacy over LVZ ablation.

Healthcare utilization and costs for patients initiating Dabigatran or Warfarin

open access: yesHealth and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2017
Background Novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) such as dabigatran, when compared to warfarin, have been shown to potentially reduce the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) together with lower healthcare resource ...

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Dabigatran and apolipoprotein B [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2015
Dabigatran is the first of a series of new direct acting oral anticoagulants that was clinically introduced for the prevention of ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In the randomized evaluation of long-term anticoagulation therapy (RE-LY) study, dabigatran was shown to be superior or non-inferior to warfarin in preventing ...

Early Bleeding Risk After DOAC Initiation With Concomitant Amiodarone in Older Adults With Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Amiodarone is frequently co‐prescribed with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF), but its impact on early bleeding risk after DOAC initiation in older adults remains uncertain. We evaluated short‐term safety outcomes associated with concomitant amiodarone use at the time of DOAC initiation.

Is Routine Interruption of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Necessary during Colorectal Endoscopic Mucosal Resection and Hot Snare Polypectomy? A Multicenter Propensity‐Matched Study

open access: yesJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and hot snare polypectomy (HSP) are high‐bleeding‐risk endoscopic procedures, and most clinical guidelines recommend stopping direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) temporarily or switching to heparin‐bridging therapy (HBT). However, existing evidence is largely derived from cohorts

Concerns Regarding the Use of Dabigatran for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2012
Dabigatran is an oral thrombin inhibitor which has been approved in several countries as an alternative to vitamin-K-antagonists for the prevention of stroke or embolism in atrial fibrillation patients.

The DOAC‐FRAIL Study—Same Dose, Different Story: Prevalence of Deviant Direct Oral Anticoagulant Levels in Nursing Home Residents

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are prescribed using fixed dosing regimens, despite limited evidence on their pharmacokinetic behavior in nursing home residents. Participants and Setting One hundred nursing home residents are receiving apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or edoxaban in multiple long‐term care facilities in the ...
