About this trial

Acute ischaemic strokes occur despite the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Evidence-based scale is necessary to assess ischemic stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient over 18 years of age

History of AD

Currently on DOACs.

Capacity to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Patient with valvular AF (mitral stenosis) or mechanical valve prostheses.

Unable to complete a follow-up period of at least 3 months from enrollment.

Trial population

Patients with a history of AF and on DOAC therapy.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Stroke Risk Scale

To design and validate a stroke risk scale specific to AF patients undergoing DOAC therapy (target patients), through retrospective analysis of a population sample, based on demographic, clinical, socioeconomic and gender factors; as well as other newly identified factors.

Time frame
From January 2023 to December 2027

Secondary outcomes

1

Plasma DOACs level

To determine plasma levels of DOACs in two prospective cohorts of target patients who have or have not had a stroke to assess stroke risk scale

Time frame
From January 2023 to December 2027
2

Burden of atrial disease

Analyze the burden of atrial disease (AF burden on Holter and atrial size) in each of the prospective cohorts.

Time frame
From January 2023 to December 2027
3

Large Intracranial Vessel Occlusion (LVO)

To quantify the proportion of thrombotic events evidenced as large intracranial vessel occlusion or intracardiac thrombus in the prospective cohort of AF patients treated with DOACs who present with a stroke.

Time frame
Until the end of the study
4

Adherence to DOAC treatment

To evaluate the impact of a clinical intervention of education on disease and treatment on adherence to DOAC treatment, as determined by a medication adherence scale and plasma levels of DOAC at 3 months from baseline determination in each of the prospective cohort.

Time frame
From January 2023 to December 2027
