Since the topic of anticoagulation management is complex and surrounded by debate, representatives from medical specialty societies, industry and other stakeholder groups gathered at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) Heart House in September for the Anticoagulation Consortium Roundtable, to address the gaps in care.
In a recent post on the ACC in Touch Blog, the ACC Anticoagulation Initiative Work Group Chair Richard J. Kovacs, MD, FACC, shares some of the insight that was discussed during this meeting. “It will be a long road ahead until everyone is on the same page and we’re in the implementation stage, but the roundtable was a step in the right direction and is just the first in a series of meetings planned on this important topic,” Kovacs said.
