Focus on

By the end of this Webinar, the participants will be able to:

Understand the global disease burden related to venous thromboembolism;
Apply evidence-based, risk-adjusted algorithms to diagnose or exclude clinically suspected pulmonary embolism;
Understand the importance of assessing “pre-test” probability of pulmonary embolism and the utility of age-adjusted D-dimer cutoffs;
Distinguish between intermediate-high, intermediate-low, and low-risk pulmonary embolism, and apply this knowledge in the acute-phase management;
Understand the modalities, benefits, and caveats of early reperfusion therapy (systemic thrombolysis, surgical or catheter-directed treatment);
Decide on the use vitamin K antagonists versus non-vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in the treatment and secondary prophylaxis;
Treat venous thromboembolism during pregnancy;
Make a state-of-the-art triage of patients who may be candidates for extended or indefinite anticoagulation after PE;
Identify patients prone to develop chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary embolism.
