Abstract

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure often coexist due to their shared risk factors leading to potential worse outcome, particularly cerebrovascular events. The aims of this study were to calculate the rates of ischemic and severe bleeding events in ischemic stroke patients having both AF and reduced ejection fraction (rEF) (⩽40%), compared to ischemic stroke patients with AF but without rEF.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis that drew data from prospective studies. The primary outcome was the composite of either ischemic (stroke or systemic embolism), or hemorrhagic events (symptomatic intracranial bleeding and severe extracranial bleeding).Results: The cohort for this analysis comprised 3477 patients with ischemic stroke and AF, of which, 643 (18.3%) had also rEF. After a mean follow-up of 7.5 ± 9.1 months, 375 (10.8%) patients had 382 recorded outcome events, for an annual rate of 18.0%. While the number of primary outcome events in patients with rEF was 86 (13.4%), compared to 289 (10.2%) for the patients without rEF; on multivariable analysis rEF was not associated with the primary outcome (OR 1.25; 95% CI 0.84–1.88). At the end of follow-up, 321 (49.9%) patients with rEF were deceased or disabled (mRS ⩾3), compared with 1145 (40.4%) of those without rEF; on multivariable analysis, rEF was correlated with mortality or disability (OR 1.35; 95% CI 1.03–1.77).Conclusions: In patients with ischemic stroke and AF, the presence of rEF was not associated with the composite outcome of ischemic or hemorrhagic events over short-term follow-up but was associated with increased mortality or disability.

Abstract

Introduction: Ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at high risk of stroke recurrence despite oral anticoagulation therapy. Patients with cardiovascular comorbidities may take both antiplatelet and oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC/AP). Our study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OAC/AP therapy as secondary prevention in people with AF and ischaemic stroke.Patients and methods: We performed a post-hoc analysis of pooled individual data from multicenter prospective cohort studies and compared outcomes in the OAC/AP cohort and patients on DOAC/VKA anticoagulation alone (OAC cohort). Primary outcome was a composite of ischaemic stroke, systemic embolism, intracranial bleeding, and major extracranial bleeding, while secondary outcomes were ischaemic and haemorrhagic events considered separately. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for outcome events. To compare the risk of outcome events between the two cohorts, the relation between the survival function and the set of explanatory variables were calculated by Cox proportional hazard models and the results were reported as adjusted hazard ratios (HR). Finally another analysis was performed to compare the overall risk of outcome events in both OAC/AP and OAC cohorts after propensity score matching (PSM).Results: During a mean follow-up time of 7.5 ± 9.1 months (median follow-up time 3.5 months, interquartile range ±3), 2284 stroke patients were on oral anticoagulants and 215 were on combined therapy. The multivariable model demonstrated that the composite outcome is associated with age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01–1.04 for each year increase) and concomitant antiplatelet therapy (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.48–3.27), the ischaemic outcome with congestive heart failure (OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.02–2.36) and concomitant antiplatelet therapy (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.19–3.13) and the haemorrhagic outcome with age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01–1.06 for each year increase), alcoholism (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.06–4.39) and concomitant antiplatelet therapy (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.23–4.02). Cox regression demonstrated a higher rate of the composite outcome (hazard ratio of 1.93 [95% CI, 1.35–2.76]), ischaemic events (HR: 2.05 [95% CI: 1.45–2.87]) and bleeding outcomes (HR: 1.90 [95% CI, 1.06–3.40]) in OAC/AP cohort. After PSM analysis, the composite outcome remained more frequent in people treated with OAC + AP (RR: 1.70 [95% CI, 1.05–2.74]).Discussion: Secondary prevention with combination of oral anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy after ischaemic stroke was associated with worse outcomes in our cohort.Conclusion: Further research is needed to improve secondary prevention by investigating the mechanisms of recurrent ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Abstract

Introduction: The efficacy and safety of statins for secondary prevention in patients who have experienced a cardioembolic stroke are not well-defined. However, previous observational data reported hyperlipidemia as a risk factor for both ischemic and bleeding complications in patients with AF and previous stroke. Based on these premises, we conducted a sub-analysis of the RAF and RAF-NOAC studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of statins in secondary prevention in patients with acute ischemic stroke and AF.Materials and methods: We combined patient data from the RAF and RAF-NOAC studies, prospective observational studies conducted across Stroke Units in Europe, the United States, and Asia from January 2012 to June 2016. We included consecutive patients with AF who suffered an acute ischemic stroke with a follow-up of 90 days. Our outcomes were the combined endpoint, including stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, and major extracranial bleeding. Furthermore, both ischemic and hemorrhagic outcomes were evaluated separately.Results: A total of 1742 patients were included (46% male), and 898 (52%) received statins after the index event, of whom 436 (48.6%) were already taking statins before the index event, 462 (51.4%) started treatment after. At multivariable analysis, statin use was statistically associated with age (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.97–0.99, p= 0.001), male sex (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.07–1.70, p= 0.013), anticoagulation (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.90–3.36, p< 0.0001), hyperlipidemia (OR 5.52, 95% CI 4.28–7.12, p< 0.0001), paroxysmal AF (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.12–1.75, p= 0.003), leukoaraiosis (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.11–1.75, p= 0.004) and heart failure (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.53–0.98, p= 0.034). Statin use was not associated with the combined outcome event (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.58–1.23, p= 0.3) and ischemic outcome event (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.73–1.88, p= 0.5) while was associated with a lower risk of hemorrhagic outcome event (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28–0.91, p= 0.02).Discussion: Statins protect cerebral arterial vessels (particularly small vessels) from subacute damage due to hypertension, diabetes, and other harmful agents (such as reactive oxygen species, proinflammatory cytokines, etc.) due to their systemic anti-inflammatory and endothelium-protective effects.Conclusions: Our data show that statins seem to protect against global bleeding events in cardioembolic stroke patients; this may be due to the pleiotropic effect of statins. More data are warranted to confirm these findings.

Petraglia, Luca

Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare condition, usually with favourable prognosis although 15% of patients will die or present significant disability. European guidelines strongly recommend anticoagulation for treating patients with acute CVT, also in patients with hemorrhagic infarction. A 58-year-old man, with no past medical history, was admitted to Emergency Department after a two-day fever and a seizure causing a severe head trauma. At arrival, the patient was comatose (GCS 6). Brain CT scan showed multiple cerebral hemorrhagic contusions and SAH in the left hemisphere, with filling defects in right sigmoid and transverse sinus, and right internal jugular vein. These findings suggested a CVT associated with severe hemorrhagic traumatic injury.We considered the traumatic cerebral hemorrhages a contraindication to anticoagulant therapy, as opposed to hemorrhages observed within venous infarction, because of different pathophysiogical mechanisms. Nevertheless, the CVT risk score was high (coma 2 points + deep venous thrombosis 2 points + male gender 1 point + intracerebral hemorrhage 1 point = 6), corresponding to negative prognosis. We decided to proceed with catheter thrombectomy, obtaining a quite complete recanalization of the venous system. Clinical evolution was positive with complete regression of symptoms (mRS 0) and of cerebral lesions.This clinical case confirms that catheter thrombectomy is a good alternative to anticoagulation in high-risk CVT patients.

Abstract

Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation who suffered an ischemic stroke while on treatment with nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants, rates and determinants of recurrent ischemic events and major bleedings remain uncertain. Methods: This prospective multicenter observational study aimed to estimate the rates of ischemic and bleeding events and their determinants in the follow-up of consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation who suffered an acute cerebrovascular ischemic event while on nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant treatment. Afterwards, we compared the estimated risks of ischemic and bleeding events between the patients in whom anticoagulant therapy was changed to those who continued the original treatment. Results: After a mean follow-up time of 15.0±10.9 months, 192 out of 1240 patients (15.5%) had 207 ischemic or bleeding events corresponding to an annual rate of 13.4%. Among the events, 111 were ischemic strokes, 15 systemic embolisms, 24 intracranial bleedings, and 57 major extracranial bleedings. Predictive factors of recurrent ischemic events (strokes and systemic embolisms) included CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score after the index event (odds ratio [OR], 1.2 [95% CI, 1.0–1.3] for each point increase; P =0.05) and hypertension (OR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.0–5.1]; P =0.04). Predictive factors of bleeding events (intracranial and major extracranial bleedings) included age (OR, 1.1 [95% CI, 1.0–1.2] for each year increase; P =0.002), history of major bleeding (OR, 6.9 [95% CI, 3.4–14.2]; P =0.0001) and the concomitant administration of an antiplatelet agent (OR, 2.8 [95% CI, 1.4–5.5]; P =0.003). Rates of ischemic and bleeding events were no different in patients who changed or not changed the original nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants treatment (OR, 1.2 [95% CI, 0.8–1.7]). Conclusions: Patients suffering a stroke despite being on nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant therapy are at high risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and bleeding. In these patients, further research is needed to improve secondary prevention by investigating the mechanisms of recurrent ischemic stroke and bleeding.
