The IMPACT of BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring Guided Anticoagulation on Stroke Risk in Patients with ICD and CRT-D Devices
Martin et al., European Heart Journal 2015
The primary event rate did not differ between the intervention and control groups (2.4 vs. 2.3/100 patient-years, respectively; HR 1.06).
Major bleeding rates were 1.6 and 1.2/100 patient-years (HR 1.39; 95% CI 0.89–2.17; P = 0.145).
In patients with AT, thromboembolism rates were 1.0 vs. 1.6 per 100 patient-years (relative risk −35.3%; 95% CI −70.8 to 35.3%; P = 0.251).
Although AT burden was associated with thromboembolism, there was no temporal relationship between AT and stroke.
