Safety and Efficacy of Rivaroxaban and Apixaban in Comparison to Warfarin in Left Ventricular Clot- a Clinical Trial
The investigators aimed to design this randomized control trial to compare rivaroxaban and apixaban with warfarin in Left ventricular thrombus resolution by
Success rate of left ventricular thrombus resolution on follow up echocardiograms to be done at 1st, 3rd and 6th months after starting on these drugs.
Compare the adverse events of each drug in terms of major bleeding and stroke on follow up.
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) leads to thromboembolism in about 10-15% cases. Currently, guidelines recommended therapy for LVT is warfarin but treating LVT with warfarin is challenging due to
Its narrow therapeutic window.
Drug-drug and drug-food interaction.
Frequently tested International normalization ratio (INR) and cost effectiveness especially in low to middle income countries.
In contrast Rivaroxaban and Apixaban has no drug-food or major drug-drug interaction and moreover it doesn't require frequent checks on INR and that's the reason Rivaroxaban and apixaban use in LVT is gaining traction over time but there is paucity of data both nationally and internationally. So further studies are required to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and apixaban in comparison to warfarin in LVT, especially in low to middle income countries.
Pakistan Study of Premature Coronary Atherosclerosis in Young Adults (PAK SEHAT)
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity, disability, mortality, and health expenditures worldwide. A wealth of studies has demonstrated that people of South Asian ancestry have a higher risk of CHD and particularly premature CHD than most other racial/ethnic groups, and recent research suggests that this risk is higher in Pakistanis than in Indians-the two largest SA groups. Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world, and despite these concerning trends, so far there has been a scarcity of large studies evaluating the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. Also, there is currently no cardiovascular risk score specifically tailored to younger Pakistani men and women. The PAKistan Study of prEmature coronary atHerosclerosis in young AdulTs (PAK-SEHAT) aims at addressing these important gaps. PAK-SEHAT is an ongoing prospective cohort study that will enroll 2,000 asymptomatic Pakistani men aged 35 to 60 years and women aged 35 to 65 years from the general population, free of clinically overt cardiovascular disease. Participants will undergo a comprehensive baseline exam including coronary computed tomography angiography, and will be followed for incident events and repeat testing for 5 years. PAK-SEHAT will allow determining the prevalence, severity, determinants, and prognostic significance of early atherosclerosis in apparently healthy young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. This knowledge can help inform primordial and primary prevention strategies, enhanced cardiovascular risk stratification, and potential plaque-screening approaches in Pakistan, all of which can ultimately help reduce the burden of CHD in the country. In this report investigators describe the rationale, objectives, methods, and discuss the potential implications of the PAK-SEHAT study.
