Claudio Laudani: DOACs Have Transformed the Landscape of Anticoagulation

Claudio Laudani, Cardiovascular Disease Fellow UNICT, Post-Doc Research Scholar UFHealth JAX, shared on LinkedIn:

”Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have transformed the landscape of anticoagulation, offering more predictable pharmacology, improved safety, and easier management compared to vitamin K antagonists.

In this comprehensive review, we examine:

  • Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, and edoxaban.
  • Evidence supporting their use across atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, cancer-associated thrombosis, and atherosclerosis compared with other antithrombotic strategies.
  • How to optimize DOAC therapy in vulnerable scenarios (renal impairment, elderly patients, perioperative management).
  • Remaining gaps and unmet clinical needs where further research is required, such as patients with rheumatic heart disease, mechanical heart valves, antiphospholipid syndrome, and patients with LVAD.”
