OVERVIEW

Virtual Symposium: Consider the Comorbidities and Clinical Challenges: Individualizing Stroke Prevention Therapy in Complex Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF) is organized by Tarsus CNS.

Program Description:
Through a series of didactic presentations and patient-case discussions, this activity will address the updated 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS guideline recommendations for NVAF, and the safety and efficacy of OACs along with clinical considerations of patients with NVAF and comorbidities associated with metabolic syndrome. Expert faculty will also highlight current and emerging reversal agents for OACs and recent regulations and processes for reimbursement designed to improve post-discharge adherence to anticoagulation/ antithrombotic treatment plans and reduce hospital readmissions.

Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify individualized treatment regimens for patients with NVAF and comorbidities based on the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS recommended evidence-based guidelines for the management of NVAF and safety and efficacy of OACs, particularly NOACs.
• Describe reversal procedures and new and emerging reversal agents for OACs in NVAF patients with uncontrolled bleeding or who require emergency surgery.
• Appraise the practical clinical aspects of NVAF management in order to reduce the incidence of hospital readmissions and improve the overall outcomes in patients with NVAF.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
