The importance and challenge of comparing stroke care, utilization and outcomes in Medicare Advantage and Fee-for-Service Medicare: a narrative review and vision for the future

Stroke prevalence is highest in adults ≥65 years, the majority of whom are Medicare beneficiaries. Feefor- Service Medicare (FFS) incentivizes utilization by paying for each service. Medicare Advantage (MA) uses capitated payments to redu...

‘One Stop’ Therapy has a Satisfying Performance on AF Patients with Interatrial Communication: Evidence from Pooled Clinical Experience

Background: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been reported to be a viable alternative to prevent thromboembolic events for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Interatrial communication closure, such as atrial septa...

Tirzepatide versus GLP-1 receptor agonists and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes

Abstract Patients with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes remain at high risk of stroke despite anticoagulation and glucose-lowering treatment. We examined whether tirzepatide was associated with lower cerebrovascular risk than establi...
