Anticoagulation Therapy: A Clinical Practice Guide

Although highly effective in preventing thromboembolic events, the safe management of anticoagulant therapy continues to be a major challenge, requiring constant monitoring and coordinated models of patient-centered care.

New in This Edition:

• Extensive new information on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
• Expanded information on anticoagulant reversal and expanded use of prothrombin complex concentrates
• New chapters on the use of anticoagulants in special patient populations, the use of anticoagulants in patients with mechanical devices, anticoagulation care delivery standards, regulatory issues, and more
