This online CME course from the North American Thrombosis Forum provides a comprehensive review of the most significant changes and advances impacting the care of patients who have — or are at risk for — thrombotic disorders. World-renowned experts and leading clinical faculty share key updates on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of thrombosis and related conditions.
Thrombosis and Thromboembolism is continuing medical education that will help you to:
- Identify the etiology and pathophysiology of atherothrombosis
- Recognize the link between inflammation and thrombotic illnesses
- Explain new tools for stroke prevention and prediction in atrial fibrillation
- Identify the optimal duration of anticoagulation for PE and DVT
- Provide advanced therapies such as thrombolysis, catheter-directed therapy, and surgical embolectomy
- Explain the connection between diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and major adverse cardiac events
- Provide patients with useful insights into how a heart-healthy diet can help prevent thrombosis
- Manage a high-risk pregnancy
- And more…
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, you will be able to:
- Identify the etiology and pathophysiology of atherothrombosis
- Recognize the link between inflammation and thrombotic illnesses
- Explain new tools for stroke prevention (and stroke prediction) in atrial fibrillation
- Identify the optimal duration of anticoagulation for PE and DVT
- Provide advanced therapy beyond anticoagulation in PE and DVT: thrombolysis, catheter-directed therapy, surgical embolectomy
- Explain the connection between diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and major adverse cardiac events
- Provide patients with useful insights into how a heart-healthy diet can help prevent thrombosis
- Manage a high-risk pregnancy
Intended Audience
This educational activity was designed for physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs) interested in changes and advances impacting the care of patients who have or are at risk for thrombotic disorders.
