Net Clinical Benefit of Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Background—Known risk factors for bleeding during anticoagulant treatment are largely the same as those predicting thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Our objective was to investigate how to maximize the likelihood of avoiding both stroke and bleeding. Methods and Results—All 182 678 subjects with atrial fibrillation in the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register were s...
متن کاملWarfarin in haemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation: what benefit?
Warfarin is commonly used to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation; however, patients on haemodialysis may not derive the same benefit from warfarin as the general population. There are no randomized controlled studies in dialysis patients which demonstrate the efficacy of warfarin in preventing stroke. In fact, warfarin places the dialysis patient at increased risk for haemorrhag...
متن کاملNet clinical benefit of warfarin therapy in elderly Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the net clinical benefit of warfarin therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 2339 Chinese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation aged≥80 years: 1805 with no antithrombotic therapy and 534 on warfarin therapy. Patients were stratified according to their CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED score. The primary end point wa...
متن کاملBleeding risk on warfarin among elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.
eneficial in terms of CV outcomes, but this was presumably onfounded by the disadvantages of the atenolol-based regimen. However, we did not focus on the variable predictability of HR ecause that was not the purpose of the study. We wanted to know hether having a higher baseline HR attenuated the superior ffects on major CV events of the amlodipine-based compared ith atenolol-based regimen. We ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in the elderly
This review discusses atrial fibrillation according to the guidelines of Brazilian Society of Cardiac Arrhythmias and the Brazilian Cardiogeriatrics Guidelines. We stress the thromboembolic burden of atrial fibrillation and discuss how to prevent it as well as the best way to conduct cases of atrial fibrillatios in the elderly, reverting the arrhythmia to sinus rhythm, or the option of heart ra...
