20-year trends of characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2018)Background: The accurate knowledge of secular trends in prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation allows better projections into the future. Aim: We aimed to report ... -
Acute limb ischemia and anticoagulation in patients with history of atrial fibrillation
(2016)BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest source of arterial embolization causing acute limb ischemia (ALI). The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of anticoagulation in AF patients and the treatment ... -
Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2021)Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have superior safety and comparable efficacy profile compared to vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs), with more convenient dosing schemes. However, issues with ... -
Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
Analysis of the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials in anticoagulant versus antiplatelet medication for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis as governed by the CONSORT statement
(2021)Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard research in evaluating healthcare interventions. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement improves the quality of RCTs in an evidence-based ... -
Anticoagulant selection in relation to the SAMe-TT2R2 score in patients with atrial fibrillation: The GLORIA-AF registry
(2021)Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better ... -
Anticoagulation after Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: To Bridge or Not with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin?
(2019)Background and Purpose-Bridging therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin reportedly leads to a worse outcome for acute cardioembolic stroke patients because of a higher incidence of intracerebral bleeding. However, this ... -
Anticoagulation for stroke prevention after embolic stroke of undetermined source of presumably cardiac source: The sail to Ithaca
(2022)[No abstract available] -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Assessment of local atrial repolarization in a porcine acetylcholine model of atrial flutter and fibrillation
(2009)Objectives - Progressive electrical alternans followed by conduction block and fibrillatory conduction have been suggested to precede disorganization of atrial flutter (Afl) to atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of the ... -
Association of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with left ventricular hypertrophy on transthoracic echocardiography
(2020)Introduction: Arterial hypertension is the most frequent cause for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and may also cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We sought to analyze whether hypertensive sICH etiology ... -
Association of neutrophil–lymphocyte and platelet–lymphocyte ratio with adverse events in endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm
(2021)The association of chronic inflammatory markers with the clinical outcome after endovas-cular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was investigated. We in-cluded 230 patients, treated electively with ... -
Atrial Cardiopathy and Likely Pathogenic Patent Foramen Ovale in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
(2021)Background Atrial cardiopathy and likely pathogenic patent foramen ovale (PFO) are two potential embolic sources in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between these two mechanisms ... -
Atrial fibrillation and cognitive decline: it takes more than an irregular heart beat, to beat the brain
(2021)[No abstract available] -
Atrial fibrillation and cognitive function in patients with heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)Cognitive impairment and dementia are established complications of heart failure (HF) in adult patients and impair medication adherence and self-care. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is suggested to play an independent role in ... -
Atrial Fibrillation and Dementia: A Report From the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration
(2022)Growing evidence suggests a consistent association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive impairment and dementia that is independent of clinical stroke. This report from the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration ... -
Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated with Cognitive Impairment, All-Cause Dementia, Vascular Dementia, and Alzheimer’s Disease: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2021)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia in patients with stroke history. However, the association between AF and cognitive impairment in broader populations is less clear. ... -
Atrial high-rate episode duration thresholds and thromboembolic risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2021)BACKGROUND: Available evidence supports an association between atrial high-rate episode (AHRE) burden and thromboembolic risk, but the necessary extent and duration of AHREs to increase the thromboembolic risk remain to ... -
Bleeding risk comparison between direct oral anticoagulants at doses approved for atrial fibrillation and aspirin: systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression
(2020)Background: A considerable proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are still treated with aspirin despite current guidelines due to presumed favorable safety. Aim: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis ... -
Carotid plaques and detection of atrial fibrillation in embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2019)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the presence of ipsilateral nonstenotic carotid plaques and the rate of detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) during follow-up in patients with embolic strokes of undetermined ...
