About anticoagulation
Anticoagulation is vital for preventing and treating harmful blood clots that cause severe complications like venous thromboembolism (VTE) – deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) – and atrial fibrillation (AF)-related stroke. Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), primarily driven by thrombotic events leading to heart attacks and strokes, are the leading cause of death worldwide¹. The critical need for effective management drives continuous global research for advanced treatment and improved patient outcomes.
