Albumin Levels and Risk of Early Cardiovascular Complications After Ischemic Stroke: A Propensity-Matched Analysis of a Global Federated Health Network

Background No studies have investigated the association between albumin levels and the risk of early cardiovascular complications in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods Retrospective analysis with a federated research network (TriNetX) based on electronic medical records (International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision-Clinical Modification and logical observation identifiers names and codes) mainly..

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Versus Direct Oral Anticoagulants in the Prevention of Ischaemic Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Introduction Existing randomised controlled trials assessing the safety and efficacy of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in atrial fibrillation (AF) were of relatively small sample size, or included patients who could receive oral anticoagulant treatment after device implantation. We compared the outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed AF who received..

Social determinants of health and clinical outcomes among patients with atrial fibrillation: evidence from a global federated health research network

Abstract:  To investigate the relationship between SDoH and adverse events in a large multinational AF cohort. Design Retrospective study utilizing a global federated health research network (TriNetX). Methods Patients with AF were categorized as socially deprived defined according to ICD codes based on three SDoHs: (i) extreme poverty; (ii) unemployment;..

Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: State-of-the-art and future directions

Introduction Stroke is a major complication of atrial fibrillation (AF). About 25% of ischaemic stroke are cardio-embolic in origin; AF is the most common cause of those.1 Nonvalvular AF carries a 5-fold increased risk of stroke,2 while AF related to mitral stenosis increases the risk of stroke by 20-fold.3 The attributable..

Risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in individuals with first-diagnosed paroxysmal vs. non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation under anticoagulation

Aims There is conflicting evidence on whether the type of atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with risk of cardiovascular events, including acute myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the risk of MI and ischemic stroke differs between individuals with first-diagnosed..

Epilepsy-Heart Syndrome: Incidence and Clinical Outcomes of Cardiac Complications in patients with Epilepsy

Background The risks of cardiovascular events(CVEs) in people with epilepsy(PWE) are not well understood. Objectives To establish the short- and long-term burden of CVEs in PWE. Methods Electronic health records from a global federated health research network(TriNetX) were used to establish a cohort of PWE. Primary outcomes..

642 Impact of bridging therapy vs endovascular thrombectomy alone on outcomes in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation presenting with mild-moderate ischaemic stroke

Background and aims The aim was to assess the impact of bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), compared to EVT alone, in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) presenting with mild-moderate acute ischaemic stroke. Method(s) A retrospective analysis (01/09/2018-01/09/2022) using a global health research network was conducted...

Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation and Other Atrial Dysrhythmias

Purpose of Review Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality, greater disability, longer hospital stays and lower rates of hospital discharge than strokes caused by other reasons. The aim of this review to summarise the..
