Objective: This study’s objective was to evaluate the effects of pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic factors on major bleeding in patients with ACS and non-valvular AF receiving combined antithrombotic therapy consisting of rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, and aspirin as part of dual or triple therapy. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in two PCI centers in Moscow, the Russian Federation, from 2017 to 2018. One hundred patients with ACS and AF were enrolled. Prospective follow-ups continued for 12 months. Results: A total of 36 patients experienced bleeding events, with 10 experiencing major bleeding based on the BARC scale and 17 experiencing major bleeding based on the ISTH scale. The following predictors associated with an increased number of major bleeding events were identified: for the ISTH scale, a Css min. of rivaroxaban of >137 pg/mL (5.94 OR, (95% CI, 3.13–12.99; p < 0.004)) and carriage of the T allelic variant polymorphism ABCB1 rs4148738 (8.97 OR (95% CI, 1.48–14.49; p < 0.017)), as well as for the BARC scale (5.76 OR (95% CI, 2.36–9.87; p < 0.018)). Conclusions: Measuring residual steady-state rivaroxaban concentrations and determining the carriage of the T allelic variant polymorphism ABCB1 rs4148738 may be applicable to high-risk patients for subsequent antithrombotic therapy modification.

State-of-the-art therapy improves the five-year survival rate of patients under the age of 20 with cranial and craniospinal tumors by up to 74%. The urgency of dealing effectively with late treatment-associated cardiovascular complications is rising. Objective: We aimed to assess echocardiographic parameters and exercise performance in subjects with a history of complex treatment for cranial and craniospinal tumors in childhood. Methods: the study of 48 subjects who underwent cranial and craniospinal irradiation for CNS tumors in childhood and 20 healthy age- and sex-matched volunteers was conducted. The examination included hormone studies, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and, in the main group, echocardiography (ECHO). Results: In five (10.4%) patients, ECHO changes were detected after complex anti-cancer treatment: thickening and calcification of the aortic valve leaflets (2%), and reduction in the systolic LV and RV function (8% and 6%, respectively). Irradiation of various areas was a significant predictor for reduced exercise tolerance, hyperventilation at rest and upon exertion, and an increased ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide. Low exercise tolerance was associated with a younger age at the time of treatment initiation. Significant differences were noted between the control group and the childhood cancer survivors with endocrine disorders. Conclusions: The obtained data confirm the importance of regular cardiovascular and endocrine monitoring of this group of cancer survivors.
