Clinical Advances in

Evolving Anticoagulation in AF and VTE

There is strong evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in improving thromboembolic outcomes across a range of populations. Despite guideline recommendations for NOACs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE), they are still widely underutilized or inappropriately applied. The Clinical Advances in Evolving Anticoagulation in AF and VTE is designed to update healthcare professionals on effective anticoagulation therapy in patients at risk for stroke or VTE.
