  • Overview

    Anticoagulation has transformed the management of multiple potentially catastrophic disease states. Currently, available anticoagulation agents work on the common pathway of the coagulation cascade, inhibiting both thrombosis as well as hemostasis and increasing the risk of serious bleeding. Factor XIa inhibitors may completely change this anticoagulation landscape. Factor XIa affects the intrinsic thrombosis pathway, preserving the extrinsic and common pathways. Phase 2 data on multiple factor XIa inhibitors support a favorable safety profile for implementation, with reduced risk of bleeding being a consistent theme, for VTE prophylaxis, secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), post-myocardial infarction (MI), and post-non-embolic stroke. This program explores novel factor XIa inhibitors currently under investigation and outlines anticoagulation’s exciting future.

  • Target Audience

    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interdisciplinary team approach intended for clinical cardiologists, emergency medicine physicians, hematologists, hospitalists, neurologists, primary care physicians, vascular medicine practitioners, and vascular surgeons, as well as other clinicians involved in the management of patients with anticoagulation.

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to: 

    • Review the currently available therapeutics and how they affect multiple pathways involved in the coagulation cascade, thereby increasing the potential for serious bleeds
    • Review current decision pathways for initiation of anticoagulation treatment and shared patient-physician decision-making, emphasizing potential prescriber bias that limits more widespread adoption of DOAC therapy
    • Review cardiac and non-cardiac patient populations where DOACs have limitations or contraindications
    • Discuss factor XI and factor XIa inhibition and review new and emerging anticoagulation pharmacotherapy for VTE, AF, secondary stroke prevention, and post-MI
  • Accreditation Statement

    In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and Total CME, LLC. GLC is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

    This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.50 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits for learning and change.
