Background: The economic burden of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is substantial. Many patients with NVAF are obese and manage other health conditions requiring multiple medications. This real-world study compared health care resource use (HRU) and costs for rivaroxaban and warfarin in patients with NVAF who had polypharmacy and obesity.

Background: The role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains uncertain.
Aims: We aimed to compare the effect of rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with STEMI complicated by LVT.
Methods: Adult patients with STEMI and two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showing LVT were assigned to rivaroxaban (15 mg once daily) or warfarin (international normalised ratio goal of 2.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically review the cost-effectiveness of rivaroxaban plus aspirin (RIV + ASA) versus aspirin (ASA) alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using leading databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science core collection. The search was carried out up to June 25, 2024, focusing on identifying full economic evaluation studies comparing the cost-effectiveness of RIV + ASA versus ASA alone in patients with stable cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Key Points: In patients with CKD and atrial fibrillation, we observed no difference in the rates of fracture between initiators of direct oral anticoagulant and warfarin. However, direct oral anticoagulant use relative to warfarin was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality.
Background: Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has been associated with a lower risk of adverse events relative to warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation.
