Mahmoud Alhariri, Senior Attending Physician at Helios Universitätsklinikum Wuppertal, Hypertensiologe at Deutsche Hochdruckliga e.V. DHL, Lipidology Specialist at Deutsche Gesellschaft für Lipidologie e. V. (DGFL), shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Wolfgang C. Winkelmayer et al., published in American Journal of Kidney Diseases, adding:
“Among patients with hemodialysis-treated kidney failure, compared with no anticoagulation, initiation of apixaban soon after newly diagnosed AF was associated with lower risks of ischemic stroke, a composite thromboembolic end point, and all-cause mortality but higher rates of clinically meaningful bleeding.”
