Urgent reversal of anticoagulants – lessons for practice

In recent years, there has been a switch to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as first-line thrombosis prevention, with fewer people started on a vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin. This has led to an increase in number of people taking anticoagulants and, therefore, an increased risk of intracranial and intracerebral haemorrhages and gastrointestinal bleeds. Listen to Richard Buka, Clinical Research Fellow Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Birmingham, discuss the challenges clinical teams face in the reversal of these drugs. He explores the findings of recent trials of Andexanet alfa and considers how effective these drugs really are and what it means in practice.

The evolving role of a Cardio-oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist

The increasing survival rate of cancer patients along with the increase in the toxicity profile of treatments has resulted in a growing demand for specialist cardio-oncology care. Listen to Priya Reehal, Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Royal Brompton Hospital Centre of Excellence for Cardio-oncology, discuss her role, present the findings of a decade-long study into the number of patients referred for cancer therapy–related cardiac dysfunction, and explain why we need more cardio-oncology centres of excellence across the UK.
