Background:In the multinational, double-blind, double-dummy ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 phase 3 study, once-daily edoxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for prevention of stroke or systemic embolism event (SEE) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in patients from East Asia.Methods and Results:Patients aged ≥21 years with documented AF and CHADS score ≥2 were randomized to receive once-daily edoxaban higher-dose (60 mg) or lower-dose (30 mg) regimen or warfarin dose-adjusted to an international normalized ratio of 2.0–3.0. Patients with a creatinine clearance of 30–50 ml/min, weighing ≤60 kg, or receiving strong p-glycoprotein inhibitors at randomization or during the study received a 50% dose reduction of edoxaban or matched placebo. This prespecified subanalysis included 1,943 patients from Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The annualized rate of stroke/SEE for higher-dose edoxaban was 1.35% vs. 2.62% for warfarin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31–0.90, P=0.02) and 2.52% for lower-dose edoxaban (HR, 0.98; 95% CI: 0.63–1.54, P=0.93). Compared with warfarin (4.80%), major bleeding was significantly reduced for the higher-dose (2.86%; HR, 0.61; 95% CI: 0.41–0.89, P=0.011) and lower-dose regimens (1.59%; HR, 0.34; 95% CI: 0.21–0.54, P<0.001).Conclusions:Once-daily edoxaban provided similar efficacy to warfarin while reducing major bleeding risk in the East Asian population.

Background: Accurate identification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often difficult especially when an electrocardiogram (ECG) does not show typical elevation of ST segment. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the efficacy of magnetocardiography (MCG) for diagnosis of ACS in patients with acute chest pain presenting without ST segment elevation. Methods and Results: In the present retrospective study 364 patients with the suspected ACS without ST segment elevation were selected. Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as a stenosis ≥50% in at least one of 16 segments of the 3 major coronary arteries and their branches. The MCG recordings were obtained at resting state using a 64-channel MCG system in a magnetically shielded room. The patients were classified on the basis of the probability distribution. The presence of significant CAD was identified with a sensitivity of 84.0% and a specificity of 85.0%, compared to 44.7% and 89.8% on ECG. In the subgroup of patients without specific findings on ECG or biomarker test, MCG had a sensitivity of 73.5% and a specificity of 82.3%. Conclusions: MCG was acceptably sensitive and specific in identifying patients with ACS even in the absence of specific findings on ECG and positive biomarker tests. Thus, MCG seems beneficial for the early triage of patients with acute chest pain. (Circ J 2010; 74: 1424 - 1430)
