Evidence-based recommendations on viscoelastometric point-of-care testing devices (the ROTEM, TEG and Sonoclot systems)
Novel oral anticoagulants an option for patients with atrial fibrillation
Offering patients anticoagulants could help prevent thousands of strokes and premature deaths from atrial fibrillation (AF), according to NICE.
Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale to prevent recurrent cerebral embolic events (IPG472)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale for the prevention of cerebral embolic stroke. This involves placing a small device into the heart to close the hole.
Offer cardiac rehabilitation 'as soon as possible' to heart attack patients
Cardiac rehabilitation should be offered as soon as possible to people who have had an myocardial infarction (MI) to help them get back to everyday life as quickly as possible, says NICE.
Rivaroxaban for treating pulmonary embolism and preventing recurrent venous thromboembolism (TA287)
Evidence-based recommendations on rivaroxaban (Xarelto) for treating pulmonary embolism and for preventing a further deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in adults.
Dronedarone for the treatment of non-permanent atrial fibrillation (TA197)
Evidence-based recommendations on dronedarone (Multaq) for treating non-permanent atrial fibrillation in adults.
Evidence-based recommendations on rivaroxaban (Xarelto) for treating deep vein thrombosis and preventing a pulmonary embolism or another deep vein thrombosis in adults.
Percutaneous balloon cryoablation for pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation (IPG427)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous balloon cryoablation for pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation. This involves using a probe attached to a balloon catheter to freeze tissue in one of the chambers on the left side of the heart.
