TL;DR: Patients with atrial fibrillation who had DOAC therapy interruption for elective surgery or procedure, a perioperative management strategy without heparin bridging or coagulation function testing was associated with low rates of major bleeding and arterial thromboembolism.

TL;DR: Simple interventions can improve ACE inhibitor use and patient outcomes in patients with HF.

TL;DR: The PAUSE study has the potential to establish a standard-of-care approach for the perioperative management of DOAC-treated patients and is designed to be easily applied in clinical practice, as it is standardized and also patient specific.

TL;DR: There has been a relatively rapid uptake of LMW heparin use and outpatient treatment for DVT in their early years of availability, but the pace of uptake has varied considerably across hospitals and countries.

TL;DR: An electronic warfarin anticoagulation nomogram administered by nurses achieved INR control similar to that of physician directed therapy among hemodialysis patients in an outpatient setting, with a significant reduction in frequency of testing.
