Neither aspirin nor warfarin is superior for preventing a combined risk
of death, stroke, and cerebral hemorrhage in heart failure (HF) patients
with normal heart rhythm, according to the ten-year WARCEF (Warfarin
and Aspirin for Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction) trial. The trial, which
was supported by the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and
Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health, was published May 2 in
the New England Journal of Medicine.
The WARCEF trial is the largest double-blind comparison of these
medications for heart failure, including 2,305 patients for up to six years
at 168 study sites in 11 countries on three continents. The Heritage
Valley Heart & Vascular Center, part of Heritage Valley Health System,
was one of the lead participating sites, having been involved with the
WARCEF trial since 2006.
