About the episode
AHA 2023 — Dr Naima Maqsood, CardioNerds ambassador (Temple University Hospital, US) interviews investigator, Dr Jeff Healey (McMaster University, CA) to outline the findings from a phase 4 trial of apixaban to reduce thromboembolism in patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF).
ARTESiA (NCT01938248) aims to determine if apixaban in combination with aspirin can reduce the instance of ischemic stroke and embolism in patients with device-detected subclinical AF.
Patients will be randomized to receive either apixaban or aspirin. Apixaban dose will be 5 mg twice daily. Those assigned to aspirin will receive a dose of 81 mg daily. This is an event-driven study, and will continue until 248 patients out of 4012 participants have experienced a clinical event.
Apixaban reduced the risk of stroke or systemic embolism in patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation, with fatal and disabling strokes reduced by 49%. An increase in major bleeding was observed with apixaban, however, there was no increase found in fatal or intracranial bleeding detected. This suggests that anticoagulation should be considered for patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation who have additional stroke risk factor.

Jeff Healey
Jeff Healey serves as the director of arrhythmia services and holds the position of associate professor of medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. As a clinical trialist and member of the Population Health Research Institute, Dr. Healey completed his clinical training in cardiology and electrophysiology at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. He furthered his academic pursuits by obtaining a Master’s degree in health research methodology at McMaster University.
Engaging in diverse clinical activities, Dr. Healey is proficient in catheter ablation and pacemaker/ICD implantation. His research endeavors focus on conducting randomized clinical trials and large registries in the fields of cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac devices. His primary research interest lies in studying the impact of risk factors and risk factor modification on the development of atrial fibrillation and its associated complications, particularly stroke.
