51. Dabigatran Association with higher Risk
of Acute coronary events:
– “The robust finding that dabigatran is associated with
increased rates of MI is alarming and emphasizes the
need for continued critical appraisal of new drugs
after phase 3 trials…….”
– “New drugs have dangers that may become apparent
long after clinical trials have given way to ….daily
clinical drug use.”
The authors clearly see an alarming signal for an increased rate of MI with
dabigatran which is also recognized by the annotator and the editor. However,
there is also some general concern expressed with regard to the unreflected
use of new drugs. Hence, our communication on ‘Xarelto’ must ensure that
we differentiate by data and by market behaviour from these dabigatran
related issues.

Rivaroxaban vs warfarin – Conclusiones
• Based on the prespecified primary efficacy outcome:
– A once-daily fixed-dose regimen of rivaroxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for
prevention of stroke or non-CNS systemic embolism
– Rivaroxaban was superior to warfarin while patients were taking study drug
– A sensitivity analysis in the ITT population that followed all patients in the trial until
completion showed a benefit for rivaroxaban, but did not reach superiority
• Safety:
– Similar overall incidence of bleeding and adverse events
– Increase in gastrointestinal bleeds but fewer intracranial haemorrhages and less fatal
bleeding with rivaroxaban
• Implication:
– Rivaroxaban, administered once daily, has demonstrated non-inferiority to warfarin in
the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism, with similar overall bleeding and fewer
intracranial haemorrhages and fatal bleeds

Dynamic interactions between atrial and ventricular function during atrial fibrillation (AF). LV indicates left ventricular.
Principal atrial fibrillation (AF)–maintaining mechanisms. A, Local ectopic firing. B, Single-circuit reentry. C, Multiple-circuit reentry. D, Clinical AF forms and relation to mechanisms. Paroxysmal forms show a predominance of local triggers/drivers, particularly from pulmonary veins (PVs). As AF becomes more persistent and eventually permanent, reentry substrates (initially functional and then structural) predominate. RA indicates right atrium; SVC, superior vena cava; LA, left atrium; and IVC, inferior vena cava.
Abnormalities of refractoriness (A) and conduction velocity (B) are the major determinants of atrial fibrillation (AF) reentry substrates. Refractory period (RP) is determined by action potential duration, which is governed by the balance between inward (down-going) and outward (up-going) currents. Conduction velocity is determined by inward currents providing depolarization energy (mainly Na+) and gap junction channels (connexins) providing cell-to-cell electric continuity. Increased outward K+ currents or decreased inward Ca2+ currents reduce RP, promoting AF by accelerating repolarization (dashed line).
Conceptual models of reentry and implications for atrial fibrillation (AF). A, Leading circle. B, Spiral-wave reentry. C through E, Role of wavelength (WL) in AF maintenance based on leading-circle model. C, In normal atria, the number of reentrant waves that can be accommodated is small, and reentry easily terminates. D, When wavelength is reduced, by decreasing the refractory period (RP) or conduction velocity (CV), reentrant circuits are smaller and more can be accommodated; AF becomes unlikely to self-terminate. E, Drugs that increase wavelength reduce the number of circuits, favoring AF termination.
Types of atrial fibrillation (AF)–promoting remodeling. Electric remodeling (A) is characterized by AF-induced decrease in action potential duration (APD) and increase in delayed afterdepolarization (DAD) risk. Structural remodeling (B) involves cell death, fibroblast proliferation, and excess extracellular matrix (ECM) production, causing fibrosis. Fibrotic lesions can impede electric propagation, favoring reentry. Fibroblast-cardiomyocyte interactions promote reentry and ectopic impulse formation. RP indicated refractory period; SR, sarcoplasmic reticulum.
