Balancing efficacy and safety in anticoagulation can be a challenge, especially for high-risk patients such as those with severe renal impairment1. Sometimes, real world evidence can also conflict with results from randomised controlled trials.
Join Dr Chris Hammett, an interventional cardiologist at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Professor Jan Beyer-Westendorf, Head of the Thrombosis Research Unit at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, Dresden, Germany for a discussion on how to navigate the common myths and misperceptions of anticoagulation.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.
Tuesday 30th June | 7:00pm to 8:00pm AEST
Associate Professor Jan Beyer-Westendorf
University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden, Germany
Dr Jan Beyer-Westendorf specialises in intensive care medicine, vascular medicine and haemostaseology. His research interests mainly focus on venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, anticoagulant therapies and bleeding management.
