Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke
Cardioembolism, responsible for approximately one-third of cerebral infarctions in Japan, causes serious cerebral infarction with poor prognosis. Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is the most important cause of cardioembolism. Both the occurrence of NVAF and the frequency of its progression to cerebral infarction increase with age. Timely introduction of warfarin depending on the presence ...
متن کاملNonvalvular atrial fibrillation: evidence for a prothrombotic state.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) have prothrombotic changes compared with patients in sinus rhythm. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. Hemostatic function compared in NVAF patients without prior embolic event (transient ischemic attack or embolic stroke) and control subjects without prior thrombotic stroke, and in NVAF patients with prior embolic ...
متن کاملRivaroxaban versus warfarin in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The use of warfarin reduces the rate of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but requires frequent monitoring and dose adjustment. Rivaroxaban, an oral factor Xa inhibitor, may provide more consistent and predictable anticoagulation than warfarin. METHODS In a double-blind trial, we randomly assigned 14,264 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who were at i...
متن کاملNonvalvular atrial fibrillation and stroke: a review.
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation accounts for more than thirty percent of all strokes above the age of sixty years. The use of anticoagulants for the primary prevention of stroke has been a controversial issue for a long time. New data has emerged which clarifies some of these issues and helps in selecting patients who are at a higher risk of stroke.
متن کاملIs the hypercoagulable state in atrial fibrillation mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tissue factor (TF; an initiator of coagulation) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; a marker of angiogenesis) are involved in the hypercoagulable state associated with malignancy. We investigated their roles in chronic atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition also associated with increased risk of stroke and thromboembolism, as well as a prothrombotic or hypercoagu...
