Real-world study in kidney transplant recipients w/ #AFib:

➡️DOACs were associated w/ lower risk of the composite outcome (death/thromboembolism/major bleeding; HR 0.66) & kidney transplant rejection (HR 0.46) vs VKA🎯

Environmental exposure belongs in CV risk prediction.
Now in @SciReports , the #ePMyears Index — cumulative PM2.5 exposure — markedly improved ML-based CVD mortality prediction: AUC 0.88–0.91.

💊Early DOAC initiation is safe and non-inferior to delayed treatment regardless of infarct volume

❌⏱️No evidence that anticoagulation initiation should be delayed beyond 4 days on the basis of infarct size
