Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Prescribing Patterns for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract: <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Current guidelines recommend triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT), defined as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), clopidogrel, and warfarin, for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation. The choice of anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy in this population is ambiguous and complex, and prescribing patterns are not well documented.</… Show more

“…It has also been known that hypertension, being a major contributor to thrombotic diseases such as DVT, increases the risk by twofold in the young male population [15]. Our study provides further evidence to these findings as hypertension was the most prevalent comorbid condition in the patients involved in our study, similar to the conclusions of other authors [2,16,17]. This prevalence of thromboembolic disorders could be indicative of the increased proportion of obesity, smoking or alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyle among the younger males.…”

“…TNFα varies signi cantly with the antiplatelet drug Clopidogrel and it conjugately varies with IL8 when both Clopidogrel and Brilinta are used. Several combinations, such as Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) are helpful to reduce morbidities but increase DAPT-related bleeding complications and stent thrombosis27 , 28 . After discontinuing DAPT Bioabsorbable polymer Everolimus-Eluting Synergy Stents in high-risk patients reduces these symptoms29 .TNFα and IL8 levels are signi cantly correlated with ACI/ARB drug Benazepril 5.0 or Olmesartan 20 but not with Valsartan 80 or Perindopril 4.…”
