| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To review the thromboembolic risk, pathophysiology associated with the risk, and literature investigating the use of antithrombotics in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and normal sinus rhythm (HFrEF-NSR). DATA SOURCES: An English language literature search was performed with MEDLINE/PubMed and Embase from January 1950 to October 2013 using the search terms heart failure, HFrEF, systolic heart failure, cardiomyopathy, left ventricular dysfunction, sinus rhythm, thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, acute coronary events, coronary artery disease, stroke, and cerebrovascular events to identify relevant articles. References in the retrieved articles were also assessed to identify other important articles. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA ABSTRACTION: All pertinent original studies, reviews, consensus documents, and guidelines were evaluated for inclusion. DATA SYNTHESIS: Patients with HFrEF-NSR may be predisposed to developing thromboembolic events. Studies that have examined the role of antithrombotics (warfarin and/or antiplatelet therapy) for reducing thromboembolic risk have been inconclusive. The WASH and HELAS pilot trials--the only studies with a no-antithrombotics or placebo comparator group--did not find a benefit with antithrombotic therapy but found an increased risk of bleeding with warfarin and of hospitalizations with aspirin. Although the clinical outcome studies (WATCH and WARCEF) suggested that warfarin may reduce stroke risk compared with antiplatelet therapy, the lack of a placebo group and lower-than-projected enrollment prevents definitive conclusions from being made. CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence does not support the routine use of antithrombotics for preventing thromboembolic events in patients with HFrEF-NSR without compelling indications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
