However, no Lp(a)-specific interventions are currently available in the primary CVD prevention in individuals with elevated Lp(a) levels. RNA-based therapies targeting Lp(a) are under investigation in phase III clinical trials.

Nevertheless, for patients with AF and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), an optimal antithrombotic strategy is yet to be established.

Methods And Results: We conducted a multi-center cohort study involving 146 Japanese centers that had prospectively registered 460 patients with AF and ACS followed for 2 years.

Gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancers currently account for approximately 25-30% of all cancer deaths. Consequently, there has been an emerging focus to optimize preventative measures for these cancers through varied avenues such as dietary change, public policy, screening/surveillance via endoscopy and most recently, chemoprevention.

Background: Either dual antiplatelet therapy or oral anticoagulation in combination with aspirin represent recommended treatment regimens following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). As the majority of patients receiving LAAC have high bleeding risk, less aggressive antithrombotic treatments are needed, such as single antiplatelet therapy.

Objectives: To compare both ischemic and bleeding outcomes in patients receiving single (SAPT) or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after successful LAAC.
