Bleeding Risk under Oral Factor Xa Inhibitors: Meta-analysis of the randomized comparison with Vitamin K Antagonists and Meta-Regression analysis
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Randomized trials have shown that oral direct factor Xa inhibitors (ODIXa) offer potential advantages over vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). It is however unclear whether the magnitude of their benefit is similar at the current recommended doses. Objective: We assessed bleeding risks and total mortality associated with ODIXa therapy compared to VKAs among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or acute venous thromboembolic disease.

Sinoatrial Blocks in Hyperthyroidism Treated with Beta-Blockers: A Case of Paradoxical Treatment
We describe an interesting case of a 52 year-old patient affected by thyrotoxicosis crisis, in whom sinoatrial blocks were associated with syncope and treated efficiently with beta-blockers. We hypothesized the Bezold-J...
Numerical Analysis of Arterial Plaque Thickness and its Impact on Artery Wall Compliance
A numerical analysis was completed on the influence of plaque on the compliance of an artery wall. The analysis allowed a systematic variation of the transluminal pressure difference and plaque thickness. Included in the...
“C” Trouble: Class IC Anti-arrhythmic Toxicity
The most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice is atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib has significant effects on long-term mortality and stroke, and contributes greatly to overall healthcare costs, affe...
Multiple Giant Coronary Arterial Aneurysms Leading to Stable Angina
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is defined as abnormal dilatation of a coronary artery luminal diameter to 1.5 to 2 times wider than the adjacent normal segment. Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare, with a reported p...
Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation and its association with the Atrial Substrate and the electrophysiological properties of the Atrial Myocardium
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) has a high prevalence, affecting up to 45% of coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients within the first week of the operation [1-4]. Interestingly, asymptomatic AF was reported...
