Bruno Pougault: Oral Anticoagulants Are Essential, But Not a ‘Fix-All’
Bruno Pougault, Global Marketing Hemostasis Product Manager at HORIBA, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Eva Soler-Espejo et al, published in JAHA:
”Oral anticoagulants: Essential, but not a ‘fix-all’.
A huge thank you to the authors of this recent study in JAHA (DOI: 10.1161/JAHA.125.046694) for highlighting the reality of residual risk.
Even with optimal treatment, the risk of stroke in AFib patients persists.
This research is a vital reminder that we must look beyond the prescription: managing comorbidities and lifestyle remains just as crucial as the medication itself.
Great work by the team for pushing the boundaries of comprehensive cardiovascular care!”
