Topics include the pharmacology of antiplatelet agents such as aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors, the role of anticoagulants like heparins, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and warfarin in preventing thromboembolic events, and the use of thrombolytics like tPA in acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. We also discuss strategies for managing bleeding risks, reversal agents, and clinical considerations for optimizing anticoagulation therapy. Enjoy the episode, and support us below!
