Description:
The role of anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) with antiplatelet therapy (aspirin) is a balance of risk versus benefit. However, reducing risk by de-prescribing is often avoided due to hypothetical efficacy reduction. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates de-prescribing aspirin in patients taking anticoagulants.

Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
• Discuss indications for cardioprotective aspirin in patients taking anticoagulants
• Describe drawbacks to implementing the findings of the Schaefer et al study to a general patient population using anticoagulants
