Eagle’s Eye View: Infective Endocarditis After Invasive Dental Procedures, Serious Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Using Diltiazem with Apixaban or Rivaroxaban and Low-Dose Colchicine for Secondary Prevention in Atherosclerosis
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a systematic review and meta-analysis of antibiotic prophylaxis and infective endocarditis incidence following invasive dental procedures. He then examines the issue of serious bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation using diltiazem with apixaban or rivaroxaban. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on low-dose colchicine for secondary prevention in atherosclerosis.
