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..

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..

A Review of Emerging Factor XI inhibitors

Introduction Whilst the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has improved the prevention of thromboembolic events, there is still a need for safer anticoagulants. This is particularly so, for specific populations of patients, such as those with an increased bleeding risk or those with severely reduced kidney function. People with..

A multicentre observational cohort study of cardiovascular risk and outcomes following stroke: The Liverpool-Heart And bRain Project (L-HARP)

  Introduction Improving risk prediction models for adverse outcomes following stroke, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), recurrent stroke, and cognitive impairment and dementia, would help target secondary prevention and other intervention strategies. The primary aim of the Liverpool-Heart And bRain Project (L-HARP) is to establish a prospective cohort study of adults..

Evaluation of Huawei smart wearables for detection of atrial fibrillation in patients following ischemic stroke: The Liverpool-Huawei stroke study.

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) often remains undetected following stroke. Documenting AF is critical to initiate oral anticoagulation, which has proven benefit in reducing recurrent stroke and mortality in patients with AF. The accuracy and acceptability of using smart wearables to detect AF in patients following stroke is unknown. Methods The..
