Medical Messages: Information You Can Use!
National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) is pleased to announce the launch of its "Medical Messages" series for patient education, a new service of NBCA's Medical and Scientific Advisory Board (MASAB). NBCA kicks off its "Medical Messages" series with the first article authored by Jack Ansell, MD, MACP titled
 | | Jack Ansell, MD MACP |
In the article Dr. Ansell points to the importance of patient self-testing (PST) at home as something that has shown to greatly improve the outcomes of warfarin therapy. Additionally, he provides further information about the four major benefits of PST; how physicians determine which patients would be eligible for it, as well as potential barriers to PST.
NBCA is delighted to provide this monthly patient education feature written by a different member of NBCA's MASAB. MASAB members
are internationally recognized experts on diagnosis and successful treatment of blood clots, clotting disorders and clot-provoked strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Medical Messages articles are designed to provide relevant and timely educational information to patients and their families.
