Application of eHealth Tools in Anticoagulation Management After Cardiac Valve Replacement: Scoping Review Coupled With Bibliometric Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Anticoagulation management can effectively prevent complications in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement (CVR). The emergence of eHealth tools provides new prospects for the management of long-term anticoagulants. However, there is no comprehensive summary of the application of eHealth tools in anticoagulation management after CVR.

Which dose of apixaban is suitable for Asian patients with atrial fibrillation who have a serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL but an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 50 mL/min?

INTRODUCTION: Reduced-dose (Low-dose [LD]) apixaban is recommended in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who fulfill 2 of 3 criteria: age ≥ 80 years, body weight ≤ 60 kg, and a serum creatinine (sCr) ≥ 1.5 mg/dl. However, the suitable (appropriate) dose for Asian patients who have a sCr < 1.5 mg/dl but an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 50 mL/min is unknown.
