Without anticoagulation the annual incidence of recurrent stroke in these patients ranges from 6% to 9% and significantly exceeds this in patients with other risk factors for thromboembolic events. Meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials (RCT) suggested that direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are more effective and safe than warfarin and should be preferred treatment in patients with AF and previous stroke/TIA. Several RCTs are investigating optimal timing of (re)initiation of anticoagulation after acute ischemic stroke. Current guidelines suggest that in most patients treatment with anticoagulants may be initiated within 4-14 days after the onset of acute ischemic stroke depending on its severity and infarct size. Aspirin is recommended until oral anticoagulant therapy is initiated.","PeriodicalId":10353,"journal":{"name":"Clinical pharmacology and therapy","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90354867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transthyretin when dissociated into monomers can misfold and ultimately form amyloid fibrils. There are two types of ATTR amyloidosis: hereditary (caused by mutations in the TTR gene) and wild-type (also referred to as senile systemic amyloidosis). Amyloid cardiomyopathy can develop in patients with both types of ATTR amyloidosis, has a later onset and is characterized by progressive heart failure leading to death within a few years after diagnosis. Tafamidis is an oral-administered small molecule that binds to transthyretin and inhibits transthyretin tetramer dissociation, the rate-limiting step in the amyloidosis. Long-term efficacy and safety of tafamidis were shown in patients with transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy. The objective of the phase 3 international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized ATTR-ACT study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tafamidis (20 or 80 mg orally QD) in comparison with placebo in 441 patients with hereditary and nonhereditary transthyretin cardiomyopathy (median age 75 years, 90% of males). At month 30, treatment with tafamidis was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (by 30%) and a lower rate of cardiovascular related hospitalizations (by 32%) than placebo and resulted in a lower rate of decline in distance for the 6-minute walk test and a lower rate of decline in KCCQ-OS score. The data from extension study supports tafamidis 80 mg as the optimal dose (bioequivalent to tafamidis free acid 61 mg).","PeriodicalId":10353,"journal":{"name":"Clinical pharmacology and therapy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73160004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
