This thorough, easy-to-use reference summarizes the mostimportant guidelines and medical literature on anticoagulation. Itfeatures a careful review of the epidemiology and treatment ofcomplications associated with anticoagulants. Unique topics includetransition of care and practical strategies for developing andimplementing quality improvement programs to enhance theadministration and safety of anticoagulants. This concise resource also covers: * Antiplatelet medications * The treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism inmedical patients * Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in surgical patients * Peri-operative management of oral anticoagulants andantiplatelet agents * Prevention of cardioembolic stroke * Antithrombotics for ischemic stroke * Antithrombotic therapy for non-ST elevation acute coronarysyndrome * Hemorrhagic complications of anticoagulants in hospitalizedpatients * Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia Hospitalists and other members of the patient care team willfind that Inpatient Anticoagulation answers their questions withdependable and timely information.

Autorenporträt

Margaret C. Fang, MD, MPH, is an academic hospitalist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research interest is in how best to prevent stroke in older patients with atrial fibrillation. In particular, her goals are to explore clinical and biological risk factors for stroke, identify the optimal use of anticoagulants to prevent atrial fibrillation-related stroke, and direct attention toward social and behavioral barriers to optimal anticoagulant management. Eventually, she would like to develop interventions directed at improving clinical decision-making regarding anticoagulation therapy for the oldest patients. Dr. Fang trained in internal medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and subsequently completed a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, obtaining a Masters of Public Health. She joined the staff at UCSF in 2003, where she is a practicing hospitalist as well as a clinician-investigator. She is currently part of the ATRIA Study Group, an NIA-funded study of warfarin use and outcomes in a large cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation.
