Abstract

Background and purpose Prospectively collected data comparing the safety and effectiveness of individual non-vitamin K antagonists (NOACs) are lacking. Our objective was to directly compare the effectiveness and safety of NOACs in patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods In GLORIA-AF, a large, prospective, global registry program, consecutive patients with newly diagnosed AF were followed for 3 years. The comparative analyses for (1) dabigatran vs rivaroxaban or apixaban and (2) rivaroxaban vs apixaban were performed on propensity score (PS)-matched patient sets. Proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for outcomes of interest. Results The GLORIA-AF Phase III registry enrolled 21,300 patients between January 2014 and December 2016. Of these, 3839 were prescribed dabigatran, 4015 rivaroxaban and 4505 apixaban, with median ages of 71.0, 71.0, and 73.0 years, respectively. In the PS-matched set, the adjusted HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for dabigatran vs rivaroxaban were, for stroke: 1.27 (0.79–2.03), major bleeding 0.59 (0.40–0.88), myocardial infarction 0.68 (0.40–1.16), and all-cause death 0.86 (0.67–1.10). For the comparison of dabigatran vs apixaban, in the PS-matched set, the adjusted HRs were, for stroke 1.16 (0.76–1.78), myocardial infarction 0.84 (0.48–1.46), major bleeding 0.98 (0.63–1.52) and all-cause death 1.01 (0.79–1.29). For the comparison of rivaroxaban vs apixaban, in the PS-matched set, the adjusted HRs were, for stroke 0.78 (0.52–1.19), myocardial infarction 0.96 (0.63–1.45), major bleeding 1.54 (1.14–2.08), and all-cause death 0.97 (0.80–1.19). Conclusions Patients treated with dabigatran had a 41% lower risk of major bleeding compared with rivaroxaban, but similar risks of stroke, MI, and death. Relative to apixaban, patients treated with dabigatran had similar risks of stroke, major bleeding, MI, and death. Rivaroxaban relative to apixaban had increased risk for major bleeding, but similar risks for stroke, MI, and death. Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract

Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better managed with a target-specific oral anticoagulant (NOAC). We hypothesized that in clinical practice, VKAs may be prescribed less frequently to patients with AF and SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 than to patients with lower scores. Methods and results: We analyzed the Phase III dataset of the Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (GLORIA-AF), a large, global, prospective global registry of patients with newly diagnosed AF and ≥1 stroke risk factor. We compared baseline clinical characteristics and antithrombotic prescriptions to determine the probability of the VKA prescription among anticoagulated patients with the baseline SAMe-TT2R2 score >2 and ≤ 2. Among 17,465 anticoagulated patients with AF, 4,828 (27.6%) patients were prescribed VKA and 12,637 (72.4%) patients an NOAC: 11,884 (68.0%) patients had SAMe-TT2R2 scores 0-2 and 5,581 (32.0%) patients had scores >2. The proportion of patients prescribed VKA was 28.0% among patients with SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 and 27.5% in those with scores ≤2. Conclusions: The lack of a clear association between the SAMe-TT2R2 score and anticoagulant selection may be attributed to the relative efficacy and safety profiles between NOACs and VKAs as well as to the absence of trial evidence that an SAMe-TT2R2-guided strategy for the selection of the type of anticoagulation in NVAF patients has an impact on clinical outcomes of efficacy and safety. The latter hypothesis is currently being tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract

Anticoagulant therapy is not conventionally used in the treatment of patients with atrial flutter. This recommendation has been based on sparse clinical experience, and recent preliminary reports suggest a significant risk of thromboembolism for these patients. A retrospective study was undertaken to assess the frequency of thromboembolic events as well as potential risk factors for these events in a cohort of patients with atrial flutter referred for radiofrequency ablation treatment. Eighty-six consecutive patients with a primary diagnosis of atrial flutter were evaluated. A history of embolic events was noted in 12 of 86 patients (14%) with atrial flutter, with an annual risk of approximately 3%. There were no differences in the prevalence of coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, or atrial fibrillation between the 2 groups of patients having an embolic event and those of patients without embolic events. Left ventricular function and left atrial size were also similar between the 2 groups. The only significant risk factor was hypertension (p < 0.05). However, in a regression model with other clinical variables (i.e., age, gender, left atrial size, presence or absence of any cardiac disease, length of time in flutter, left ventricular function, type of flutter, flutter cycle length, type of secondary arrhythmias) no significant predictors were found. Patients with transient ischemic attacks or pulmonary emboli were then excluded from the analysis in order to compare the thromboembolic risk in the present study to that reported in major atrial fibrillation trials. The overall risk becomes 7% (6 of 86), which over a mean follow-up period of 4.5 years yields an annual risk of approximately 1.6%. Although this risk is only 1/3 of that for patients with atrial fibrillation, this risk is higher than previously recognized for patients with chronic atrial flutter. Anticoagulant therapy should be seriously considered for these patients.

Abstract

Thirty-nine consecutive patients with symptomatic AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) underwent temperature guided slow AV nodal pathway ablation (group 1). Forty-three consecutive patients undergoing nontemperature guided slow AV nodal pathway ablation late in our experience compose the control population (group 2). Slow pathway ablation was achieved in all patients of both groups. The mean fluoroscopy and ablation times for group 1 were significantly shorter than for group 2 (26.1 +/- 14.9 vs 33.9 +/- 18.9 min, P < 0.05; 19.9 +/- 12.1 vs 30.9 +/- 23.3 min, P < or = 0.02). There were no episodes of coagulum formation in group 1, while there were 15 episodes (7.1% of energy applications) in group 2 (P = 0.0006) despite a significantly higher applied power in group 1 (53.4 +/- 25.1 vs 35.6 +/- 9.5W, P = 0.0001). Successful energy applications were associated with significantly higher temperatures than unsuccessful applications in group 1 (55.6 degrees +/- 5.8 degrees C vs. 52.9 degrees +/- 6.8 degrees C, P < or = 0.03). The minimum temperature required for successful ablation was 48 degrees C for two patients (5%) and was > or = 50 degrees C for the remainder of patients (37/39 [95%]). The catheter ablation system used in this study was safe, effective, and prevented coagulum formation while delivering relatively high power. In addition, shorter ablation times and radiation exposure were seen with this system. Although successful energy applications and the production of junctional rhythm were associated with higher achieved temperatures, temperature alone did not predict either endpoint. Future prospective, randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings and further evaluate the value of temperature monitoring.

Abstract

Background: Two important signal processing applications in electrophysiology are activation mapping and characterization of the tissue substrate from which electrograms are recorded. We hypothesize that a novel signal-processing method that uses deconvolution is more accurate than amplitude, derivative, and manual activation time estimates. We further hypothesize that deconvolution quantifies changes in morphology that detect electrograms recorded from regions of myocardial infarction., Methods and Results: To determine the accuracy of activation time estimation, 600 unipolar electrograms were calculated with a detailed computer model using various degrees of coupling heterogeneity to model infarction. Local activation time was defined as the time of peak inward sodium current in the modeled myocyte closest to the electrode. Deconvolution, minimum derivative, and maximum amplitude were calculated. Two experienced electrophysiologists blinded to the computer-determined activation times marked their estimates of activation time. F tests compared the variance of activation time estimation for each method. To evaluate the performance of deconvolution to detect infarction, 380 unipolar electrograms were recorded from 10 dogs with infarcts resulting from ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The amplitude, duration, number of inflections, peak frequency, bandwidth, minimum derivative, and deconvolution were calculated. Metrics were compared by Mann-Whitney rank-sum tests, and receiver operating curves were plotted., Conclusions: Deconvolution estimated local activation time more accurately than the other metrics (P < .0001). Furthermore, the algorithm quantified changes in morphology (P < .0001) with superior performance, detecting electrograms recorded from regions of myocardial infarction. Thus, deconvolution, which incorporates a priori knowledge of electrogram morphology, shows promise to improve present clinical metrics.
