Unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction are leading causes of hospital admissions worldwide. Following the initiating event of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, activation of the coagulation cascade plays an important role in mediating local thrombosis. Novel antithrombotic agents have recently been developed and applied in clinical practice. The direct antithrombins have the advantage of inhibiting both fluid-phase and clot-bound thrombin. Despite a sound theoretical basis, the prototypical agent hirudin has been demonstrated to be only equivalent to unfractionated heparin as adjunctive therapy to thrombolysis in ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Although showing a better efficacy than unfractionated heparin in unstable angina/non-Q wave myocardial infarction, hirudin causes more major bleeding complications. Low-molecular-weight heparins have the advantages of a better bioavailability, longer half-life and dose-independent clearance, making subcutaneous administration possible and monitoring unnecessary. Enoxaparin has been proven to be superior to unfractionated heparin in two large randomised trials of unstable angina/non-Q wave myocardial infarction while equivalence is demonstrated for other low-molecular-weight heparins. A higher anti-Xa:anti-IIa ratio may explain the varying efficacy. In the near future low-molecular-weight heparins and newer antithrombin agents may replace unfractionated heparin in the management of acute coronary syndromes as ongoing clinical trials further define their roles.

Its predictive value in patients with atrial fi brillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention receiving combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy is unknown. This retrospective cohort study sought to validate the accuracy of HAS-BLED score in predicting the bleeding risk in patients with atrial fi brillation who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention receiving both anti-coagulation and dual antiplatelet therapy. Method : We calculated HAS-BLED score in 186 patients with AF undergoing coronary stenting and assessed the incidence of bleeding events de fi ned by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) bleeding scale. Results : The mean age of the patients was 72. The proportion of male to female was 2.93: 1. Using a HAS-BLED cut off of ≥ 3, a signi fi cantly higher incidence of bleeding was detected in the high HAS-BLED compared to the low HAS-BLED cohort. Such difference of bleeding incidence remained signi fi cant in the triple therapy subgroup whereas it became statistically insigni fi cant in the dual-antiplatelet subgroup. The predictive performance was modest (AUC 0.673, 95% CI, 0.535 e 0.811, p ¼ 0.028). Conclusion : HAS-BLED score is a simple and useful tool to predict bleeding risk in a group of atrial fi brillation patients who require triple therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention.","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48990027","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}
