2023 Beers Criteria Update: Key Reminders for Anticoagulation in CVD

The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIM) Use in Older Adults has been an important resource for clinicians since 2011. In the 2023 edition, the expert panel provided key updates for anticoagulation in cardiovascular disease. This handy pocket card summarizes these recommendations.

KDIGO: Anticoagulation Considerations in Chronic Kidney Disease

Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) have come of age and are proving to be an efficacious and convenient means to provide anticoagulation for many patients with NVAF and/or VTE. However, striking the right balance between anticoagulation and bleeding risk is paramount, especially for patients with chronic kidney disease. This resource, adapted from the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) guidelines, provides a quick reference to warfarin and DOAC dosing, including adjustments for creatinine clearance (CrCl) in patients with various levels of renal insufficiency.

Anticoagulation in NVAF and VTE: Risk Prediction Scores With Renal Criteria

When implementing anticoagulants to prevent thrombotic events (eg, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and/or venous thromboembolism (VTE), it is critical to balance efficacy with bleeding risk. For patients who require anticoagulation and also have renal impairment, careful risk assessment is important. Not all bleeding risk calculators include renal considerations. This tool provides those that do, with links to both online and mobile app versions.

Shared Decision Making: Anticoagulation Conversation Starters

For many medical disciplines, shared decision making (SDM) is a keystone in contemporary clinician-patient communications. With an expanding menu of available anticoagulation options, including direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), SDM takes on even greater importance in counseling patients with NVAF and/or VTE. This 1-page resource outlines the SHARE approach to SDM, along with suggested conversation starters to keep your patients engaged and adherent to therapies.

Striking the Balance: Anticoagulation Therapy and Kidney Function

Your doctor has prescribed an anticoagulant, most likely a DOAC (direct oral anticoagulant) to prevent blood clots or stroke. But why is your doctor concerned about your kidneys? The answer is some of these medications can cause or worsen kidney problems if not dosed just right. This 1-page flyer shows the importance of balancing benefits and risks with these medications. Feel free to bring this resource to your next appointment and discuss it with your clinician.
