Atrial Fibrillation Management: What do the guidelines say and what are the implications for primary care?
EPCCS Guidance Documents
EPCCS consensus guidance on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (SPAF) in primary carea randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicentre trial.
In the double-blind, sham-controlled PVI-SHAM-AF trial, 262 patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation were randomised to catheter ablation or a sham procedure. At six…
from episode burden to net clinical benefit.
This narrative review synthesizes evidence from the ARTESiA and NOAH-AFNET 6 trials regarding anticoagulation for device-detected atrial high-rate episodes and subclinical atrial fibrillation. While…
Researchers developed and externally validated FIND-AF 2.0, a machine learning model using electronic health records to identify patients at high risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). In a…
the safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation patients with prior intracranial haemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with atrial fibrillation and a history of intracranial haemorrhage…
milvexian prevents no events after an acute coronary syndrome and does not bleed less, a blow to the factor XI hypothesis in ACS
The full results of the trial stopped for futility in November 2025: 14,194 patients within 7 days of an ACS with at least two risk factors, milvexian 25 mg twice daily or placebo on top of…
prasugrel or ticagrelor with a DOAC after infarction in atrial fibrillation triples major bleeding, the trial was stopped early
Randomised trial stopped early for safety after 602 of 1,474 planned patients with AF and myocardial infarction: DOAC plus one month of prasugrel or ticagrelor versus DOAC plus clopidogrel (with…
a DOAC protects patients with atrial fibrillation and a single stroke risk factor, without excess major bleeding
The first randomised trial in the guideline grey zone: 1,803 Korean patients with AF and a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1 (men) or 2 (women) were randomised to apixaban or rivaroxaban versus no…
the hypothesis, the promise and the LIBREXIA ACS lesson
Factor XI inhibition promises antithrombotic effect without the bleeding cost, but the field keeps hitting reality: after asundexian, the 14,000-patient LIBREXIA ACS trial of milvexian was halted for…
A recent narrative review synthesizes evidence on antithrombotic management in patients with stable chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Trials including AFIRE, EPIC-CAD…
a clinical consensus statement of the European Heart Rhythm Association, the Heart Failure Association, the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging of the ESC, and the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology.
A multi-society ESC working group has released a clinical consensus on transseptal puncture (TSP), a foundational technique for over 250,000 annual atrial fibrillation ablations and various…
a contemporary, population-based analysis in Catalonia.
The high prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a public-health challenge, especially in ageing societies. This retrospective population-based study used the Catalan public health system database…
Care pathways in atrial fibrillation (AF) are poorly characterised and may influence guideline-concordant treatment. In the Optum database (37,370 patients with incident AF, 2015–2023), 20.6% had a…
