The prognostic impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) and oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy in patients with type B acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains unclear. The use of OAC for AF was related to...
Our study confirms that atrial fibrillation is common among older adults and provides a contemporary basis for estimates of prevalence in the United States. The number of patients with atrial fibri...
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke, which is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The use of oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation at moderate or hig...
It is well recognized that during atrial fibrillation (AF), clots may form in the left atrium. This, in turn, may lead to embolization of the clot, with resulting ischemic stroke or systemic emboli...
Key Points ; Question Does infarct size modify the safety and efficacy of early vs late initiation of direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) after ischemic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation? · Findings In this post hoc analysis of 1962 participants from the Early Versus Later Anticoagulation for Stroke With Atrial Fibrillation (ELAN) randomized clinical trial, the odds of the primary outcome (recurrent ischemic stroke, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, extracranial bleeding, systemic embolism, or vascular death within 30 days) were simi ...
Oral anticoagulation in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
The incidence of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation is greatly reduced by oral anticoagulation, with the full effect seen at international normalized ratio (INR) values of 2.0 or greater. ...
