Abstract

No pooled analysis has been undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared with warfarin in the subgroup of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF), including edoxaban data from recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Comprehensive literature searches were conducted using the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases from inception to April 2015. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Four RCTs were included: 19 122 of 32 512 AF patients with HF were allocated to a NOAC (13 384 receiving single-/high-dose NOAC regimens), and 13 390 to warfarin. Among AF patients with HF, single/high-dose NOACs significantly reduced the risk of stroke/systemic embolic (SE) events by 14% [odds ratio0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-0.98), and had a 24% lower risk of major bleeding(OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.67-0.86). For low-dose NOAC regimens, comparable efficacy to warfarin for stroke or SE events (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.86-1.21) and a non-significant trend for lower major bleeding was observed. Regardless of high- or low-dose NOAC, the incidences of both major bleeding and stroke/SE in AF patients with HF were similar to those wit...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
