    Abstract Introduction: Clinicians have limited options outside controlled substances to address sleep disturbance, which left untreated can negatively affect patient outcomes in cardiovascular health, mental health, immunologic function, and more. For some, genetic factors may influence sleep disturbances. L-methylfolate, the active form of folate, plays a critical role in regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters known to have significant impact on sleep regulation: dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the enzyme methylene-tetrahydrofolate-reductase are common and can impact monoamine production. The goal of this study was to evaluate effects of L-methylfolate supplementation on sleep in a cohort with reduced methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) activity.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients being treated with L-methylfolate in a concierge medical clinic setting was studied. Patients presenting with sleep complaints were evaluated using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System at baseline. Patients with known MTHFR polymorphisms at either C667T and/or A1298C were recommended 5 mg of L-methylfolate daily and were reevaluated at 2 wks, at 4 wks, and at 8 wks of supplementation. Statistical comparisons were made utilizing ANOVA and T-test comparisons.
    Results: Ten were included in the final cohort: six male and four female, average age 43 ± 16 years. Beginning at wk 2, average sleep disturbance improved significantly by -6.94 points (
    Conclusion: Improvement in sleep disturbance was seen in both low and intermediate function phenotypes. L-methylfolate may be useful for improving sleep in patients with MTHFR polymorphism.

    Abstract The use of direct oral anticoagulants over traditional warfarin has increased in the United States over the past 10 years because of advantages such as ease of use, predictable pharmacokinetic response, and safety. In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved idarucizumab (Praxbind) for the reversal of the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran, but no reversal agent has been available for oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors until recently. Andexanet alfa was approved in May 2018, under the brand name ANDEXXA, for the reversal of 2 of FXa inhibitors, apixaban and rivaroxaban, when life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding occurs. This accelerated approval was based on change in anti-FXa activity from baseline that indicated a reversal of the anticoagulant effect. Any expanded Food and Drug Administration indication will be contingent on results demonstrating improved hemostasis and efficacy for reversing other FXa inhibitors.

    Abstract Purpose: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y
    Methods: A search of PubMed was performed to identify articles published in the last 20 years that addressed the role of DAPT beyond 12 months' duration.
    Findings: A number of studies have shown ischemic benefits associated with prolonging DAPT beyond 12 months, but this finding is dependent on the patient population studied and the quality of the study design. Many studies also show that longer duration therapy has been associated with increased bleeding risk. In patients with previous myocardial infarction completing at least 1 year of DAPT, continuing DAPT with a reduced dose of ticagrelor 60 mg BID is a regimen to be considered for these patients; in general ACS patients, a reduced dose of 60 mg BID of ticagrelor after the first year of DAPT should be considered; and in the post-percutaneous coronary intervention patients, DAPT beyond 1 year should be considered after careful evaluation of the patient's thrombotic and bleeding risks.
    Implications: The duration of DAPT, and the choice of P2Y

    Abstract Edoxaban is the most recently approved factor Xa inhibitor within the class of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Like other DOACs, edoxaban was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of venous thromboembolism and prevention of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Similar to other DOACs, edoxaban has fewer drug-drug interactions than warfarin and does not require routine laboratory monitoring. Unlike other DOACs, edoxaban has yet to be approved for secondary or postoperative venous thromboembolism thromboprophylaxis. Currently no antidote for edoxaban is available. To optimally prescribe agents in the DOAC class, it is critical that providers 1) understand how the agents compare; and 2) identify specific settings in which one agent may be preferred over another.

    Abstract As overall prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to rise, the number of patients who undergo ablation, or electrical/chemical cardioversion, to restore normal sinus rhythm continues to increase as well. As direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have continued to be incorporated into clinical practice for long-term anticoagulation for AF, experience with how best to manage use of DOACs during electrophysiologic procedures is evolving. This review is intended to provide health care providers with a summary of current evidence regarding the use of DOACs during cardioversion and catheter ablation and provide key considerations for their use during such electrophysiologic procedures. PubMed and MEDLINE were searched from inception through June 2018 for studies in humans comparing DOACs alone or against vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in adult patients (> 18 yrs) who underwent cardioversion or AF catheter ablation using the following key words: "rivaroxaban," "dabigatran," "apixaban," "edoxaban," "non-vitamin K antagonists," "direct or new oral anticoagulants," "warfarin," "vitamin K antagonists," "cardioversion," "ablation of atrial fibrillation," "uninterrupted," and "catheter ablation." Four retrospective studies and three prospective trials comparing DOACs with VKA in patients undergoing cardioversion and three prospective studies in patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF were identified. Observational data and meta-analyses were also critically reviewed. Prospective trials to date suggest similar efficacy and safety with using DOACs in the setting of cardioversion and AF ablation compared to traditional therapy with VKA, with or without bridging. Injectable anticoagulant overlap can be avoided in patients receiving DOACs in the setting of cardioversion for AF. Minimal interruption in anticoagulation may be only necessary for AF ablation in those with highest bleeding risk, such as in renal dysfunction and where drug-drug interactions may increase risk for anticoagulant accumulation. Periprocedural advantages of DOACs include convenience, rapid and predictable onset of effect, improved patient satisfaction, and potential for reduced costs.
