Specifically, the indications for anticoagulation therapies have expanded, the use of anticoagulants in special patient populations has increased, and many new antithrombotic therapies are available. This conference will deliver the newest research as well as practical, evidence-based information that attendees can apply to their daily practice to enhance the quality of anticoagulation care.
