Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Rationale and Design of Dabigatran for Mitral Stenosis Atrial Fibrillation Trial
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrythmia encountered in clinical practice and patients suffer from this are at increased risk of ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism due to the formation and embolism of left atrial thrombi. Current international guidelines recommend non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention amongst these patients with non-valvular AF at significant ischemic stroke risk, given the superior safety and comparable efficacy of NOACs over warfarin. However, warfarin therapy remains in the stroke prevention strategy for AF patients with mitral stenosis (MS) as NOACs lack of evidence for safety and efficacy amongst this group of patients. A local study is initiated to compare and evaluate the safety and efficacy among the two groups of anticoagulants - NOACs and traditional Warfarin therapy - in AF patients with underlying moderate to severe MS.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Stroke | It is defined as a neurological deficit of sudden onset that persisted for more than 24 hours and corresponded to a vascular territory that cannot be explained by other causes. It will be further classified as ischemic stroke and haemorrhagic stroke according to computerized axial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. | 1 year | |
Primary | Systemic embolism | It is defined as an acute vascular occlusion of an extremity or organ other than the brain, documented by imaging, surgery, and/or autopsy. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Ischemic stroke | It is diagnosed with computerized axial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Haemorrhagic stroke | It is diagnosed with computerized axial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Intracranial haemorrhage | It consists of haemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral haemorrhage and cerebellar haemorrhage), subdural haemorrhage, and subarachnoid haemorrhage, and will be confirmed with computerized axial tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Major bleeding | It is defined as a drop in the haemoglobin level of at least 2g/dL, transfusion of at least 2 units of blood, or symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ. Life-threatening bleeding includes fatal bleeding, symptomatic intracranial bleeding, bleeding with a haemoglobin drop of at least 5g/dL, or bleeding requiring transfusion of at least 4 units of blood or inotropic agents or requiring surgery. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Death | It is defined as medically certified cessation of life. | 1 year |
