Guest: Keri Zieminski, APRN, C.N.P., D.N.P.
Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.
This episode of Mayo Clinic’s “Interviews With the Experts” will give an overview of anticoagulation monotherapy in patients with chronic CAD and atrial fibrillation. Discussion will include a brief overview of recently published trials that highlight the use of anticoagulation monotherapy in chronic CAD with atrial fibrillation, and how to manage a patient on anticoagulation monotherapy that needs to undergo noncardiac surgery.
Topics Discussed:
• Why has there been a shift towards redefining antithrombotic medical therapy in patients with chronic CAD with atrial fibrillation? What's changed?
• Recently published trials that highlight the use of anticoagulation monotherapy in the chronic CAD + AF population.
• What is your process for managing a patient on anticoagulation monotherapy that needs to go for noncardiac surgery?
