Management of Bleeding with Newer Anticoagulants

Several novel oral anticoagulant drugs (NOACs) have recently been approved for use in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolic disease. These drugs are either direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran) or factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) and all have been compared in large randomized trials with warfarin. In general, NOACs are considered, at least, non-inferior to warfarin in terms of stroke prevention but their risk of bleeding is variable

New Antithrombotic Drugs in Acute Coronary Syndromes: the Role of Fondaparinux and Bivalirudin in Reducing Major Hemorrhages and Mortality

Two newer antithrombins have recently been tested for efficacy and safety in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), an indirect antithrombin, fondaparinux, a synthetic pentasacharide with anti-Xa properties, and a direct thrombin inhibitor, bivalirudin, having an anticoagulant effect against both free and clot-bound thrombin. Both these newer antithrombotic agents are recommended in current guidelines as anthithrombotic therapies in ACS patients with their main advantage being increased safety due to reduced bleeding events

Clinical Utility of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis of Acute Myocarditis

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a novel imaging technique that may help differentiate between myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome and compares favorably to other imaging techniques because it also provides information on tissue consistency and characteristics. We herein present a case, whereby CMR was most useful in providing such a differential diagnosis

Clinical Utility of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis of Acute Myocarditis

A 49 year-old patient with past medical history significant for arterial hypertension (treated with telmisartan 80 mg daily), presented to the emergency department with 18-hour gastric discomfort and fatigue. Five days prior to this presentation the patient had an episode of febrile gastroenteritis. The evening prior to presentation the patient had blood chemistries performed at an outside institution, where an increase of myocardial enzymes (troponin and CPK-MB) were noted. On presentation the patient was uncomfortable due to abdominal pain, but the clinical examination was almost normal. Blood pressure was 150/80 mmHg and heart rate was 60 beats/min. Cardiac S1 and S2 sounds where audible, without additional cardiac tones, murmurs, pericardial or pleural friction. There was no jugular venous distention, rales or peripheral edema present. Admission 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrated normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 60 beats/min, and early repolarization pattern with a slight J-point elevation in the lateral leads (I, aVL, V5, V6)
