Antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome in the real world: Data from the Berlin AFibACS Registry

Abstract: Background: Guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation (AFib) recommend antithromboembolic treatment strategies for patients with AFib and acute coronary syndrome (AFibACS (Cardiol J 2014; 21, 5: 465-473)

“…A greater emphasis on the use of appropriate OAC would help prevent death and reduce thromboembolic risk. This is further emphasized by the findings from Lau et al [9], demonstrating the increased incidence of AF and stroke among STEMI survivors. The two articles in this journal also highlight the need for more trials related to the use of dual or triple therapy in the prevention of ischemic stroke in AF patients receiving coronary stents, as well as the intensity of surveillance in post ACS patients to detect new-onset AF.…”

“…The findings from Lau et al [9] have highlighted the increased prevalence of AF and ischemic stroke among post-STEMI survivors, and emphasized the need for greater vigilance and better surveillance for new onset AF among this at-risk patient group. Nonetheless, once AF has been detected, the shift should be to identify those who will not benefit from OAC and after individualized stratification of bleeding risk, offer the most appropriate antithrombotic treatment to the rest [14].…”
