Learn more about VTE blood clots at http://www.YouAndBloodClots.com. In this video, Dr Sandra Adams explains how older and newer blood thinners work for the treatment of VTE blood clots, and how they are taken. The main older blood thinner used is called warfarin. The newer blood thinners fall into two groups. The first group includes low molecular weight heparin and fondaparinux. The second group includes pills that are taken by mouth, such as apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban.
In this video, i discuss the risk of bleeding in patients who take or may have to consider taking blood thinners for stroke prevention in Afib. I discuss an interesting study which showed that the risk of bleeding with Eliquis is no greater than with Aspirin. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1007432
After receiving a coronary stent to repair a blocked artery to the heart, patients are given blood-thinning medications. This can help prevent clots from forming in the stent. A new study examined whether patients with a newer generation, drug-releasing stent can reduce the number of months they take blood-thinning medications without increasing complication risks. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.
Addresses concerns and answers questions you may have about taking a blood-thinning drug, like Warfarin. Introduces a strategy for incorporating your blood thinner medication into your daily life. (Running Time: 10:42).
Anticoagulants, commonly referred to as blood thinners, are drugs that prevent or reduce coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time. Antiplatelet drugs, also known as a platelet aggregation inhibitors, decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit clot formation. These drugs play an important role in the treatment of various disorders such as myocardial infarction, thrombotic stroke and venous thromboembolism. This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as pathophysiology of blood clot formation and platelet function; activation, aggregation, cross-linking; ADP receptors, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme, fibrinogen, fibrin mesh, coagulation cascade; intrinsic & extrinsic pathways, clotting factors, antithrombin, heparin induced thrombocytopenia, INR, plasmin, and plasminogen; mechanism of action of platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, thrombolytic agents, and drugs used for treatment of bleeding. Drugs mentioned include; Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Ticagrelor, Ticlopidine, Prasugrel, Abciximab, Eptifibatide, Tirofiban, Heparin, low molecular weight heparins; Enoxaparin, Dalteparin, Protamine sulfate, Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, Univalent & Bivalent direct thrombin inhibitors; Argatroban, Dabigatran, Bivalirudin, Desirudin, Warfarin, Vitamin K, Alteplase, Reteplase, Tenecteplase, Urokinase, Streptokinase, Aminocaproic acid, Tranexamic acid..

Millions of people in the U.S. are taking blood thinners to prevent a clot and possible stroke, but some patients wind up in the hospital due to a dangerous side effect.
However, there are some instances when a reversal treatment may be needed to reverse the effect of a blood-thinning medication. Emergency situations when extensive bleeding occurs are serious and can become life threatening if you’re taking a blood thinner. In these instances, a reversal treatment may be necessary to reduce the bleeding risk.
“If you have an accident or need emergency surgery, doctors have three ways to reverse [the older, standby blood-thinner] warfarin that work in a matter of minutes to hours. Praxbind is an injected drug that is the first reversal medication approved specifically for Pradaxa. In three clinical trials involving over 280 volunteers who. For reversal that needs to occur within 6 hours, then patients may simply receive IV vitamin K (oral vitamin K works but it’s a lot slower up to 24 hours).
Drug: Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) or apixaban (Eliquis) Reversal: Andexanet alfa (AndexXa) In 2018 the FDA approved a reversal agent for Factor Xa Inhibitors, which up until this time had none. In an emergency situation or in the case of life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding, excessive bleeding can be serious, but this risk is reduced by using a reversal treatment. Reversal treatments work to reverse the blood-thinning effect of blood-thinning medications. Ask your health care provider about reversal treatment options.
Longstanding blood thinner warfarin has a reversal agent. During an emergency bleeding episode, doctors simply give the patient vitamin K. Vitamin K reverses warfarin’s blood-thinning effects in order to help clots form. A patient can thus avoid bleeding out, saving the person’s life.
Xarelto had no antidote available until May 2018. Anticoagulant reversal agents are required when anticoagulant therapy needs to be reversed or neutralized in situations when there are bleeding complications, an overdose of anticoagulant therapy or unplanned surgery is required. And, while warfarin’s effects can be reversed quickly in the event of excessive bleeding, dabigatran is the only DOAC with an FDA-approved antidote: idarucizumab (Praxbind). However, a reversal agent for the other DOACs, andexanet, is expected to gain regulatory approval this spring.
Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication.This means it helps prevent clots from forming in the blood. Blood thinners treat some types of heart disease.. Your doctor may. Anticoagulants are drugs that treat blood clots, and help prevent blood clot formation in the veins and arteries.
Common side effects of these drugs are bruises, diarrhea, fever, intestinal gas, and headache. These drugs are prescribed to patients to treat and prevent a variety of diseases and conditions (DVT, pulmonary embolism, blood clot during atrial fibrillation).
List of related literature:
In some situations such as hemorrhage or acute thrombosis, following surgery, or concomitant heparin therapy, the half-life of ATIII may be decreased, so plasma levels should be monitored more frequently, and dosage or frequency of drug administration adjusted as necessary.
D ✦ ● If signs and symptoms of a cerebrovascular accident or hypertensive encephalopathy occur: • Administer antihypertensive agents if ordered: • Vasodilators • Maintain client on bed rest.
Halogenated agents cause dosedependent depression of uterine contractility,243,245,246 which may lead to greater blood loss after delivery.247 Therefore, the concentration of the volatile agent is reduced to 0.5 to 0.75 MAC after delivery.
Reversal Agents Acute reversal of anticoagulation may be required for drug overdose with clinically significant bleeding or emergent procedures.
from Conn’s Current Therapy 2020, E-Book by Rick D. Kellerman, KUSM-W Medical Practice Association, David Rakel Elsevier Health Sciences, 2019
There are no known reversal agents for the platelet inhibitors aspirin and clopidogrel [Plavix] or factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban [Xarelto] or apixaban [Eliquis].
All three cause prolongation of the PTT, such that this can be used to monitor their anticoagulant effect, and all have a short half-life (1 hour or less).168 No specific reversal agent is available.
e. Heparin therapy for patients receiving streptokinase: Heparin is used only for those at high risk of thromboembolism, such as those with large infarctions, atrial fibrillation, or congestive heart failure.
A nonheparin anticoagulant (e.g., argatroban, bivalirudin, fondaparinux) should be begun immediately unless there is a strong contraindication to anticoagulation, such as active bleeding or high bleeding risk.

Dr. Sanjay my wife is been on Eliquis Almost 4 years she’s very scared of the side effects she was on Xarelto and I had to stop because it was hurting her kidneys then they started Eliquis can she just stop This medication abruptly or does she need to wean off any information would be much appreciated thank you sir
So is there any reason to take baby aspirin over Eliquis then-besides the lower cost? (I am taking 50 mg. Flecainide for my PACs/ occsional AFibs but my Dr. also wants me to take Eliquis OR aspirin twice a day, just in case I have AFibs.) Which should I take? Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! So much more informative than my own Dr!

Please keep making those videos, it was organized, simple, and really straightforward. You just save my 5-hour listening to recording lectures. Thank you so much
Blood thinners do thin the blood but do nothing to dissolve or remove the blockage. AMA and drug CO….less than 20% of doctors belong to the AMA…studies by doctors see how many are on the boards or get money from BIG FARMA… know what drugs u r taking and other illnesses that may occur. It’s your body,it’s your life…. FDA / AMA do u really want to just take their word????
It’s nice to have a diagram of the cascade and then interject each drug class where it acts. Thank you! This is how all topics should be taught by all teachers!
Hello Dr. Thank you so much for this very informative video. My husband had 4 heart valve stents put in about 10 years ago. He was prescribed Clopidogrel for a year then put on Aspirin. In your opinion, should he still be taking asprin or is there another, perhaps more appropriate anti coagulant he could enquire about with his dr. He also take Amlodipin 10mgs, Atorvastatin 40 mgs, Candesartan Cilexetil 2mgs and as mentioned Asprin 75mgs. Many thanks, Caroline
Aap boht mast kaam karta hai speed pharmacology bhai……. par koi apko thank u nahi bolta aj apun tuje thanks bolta hai….. tu itni complicated kitabe parhta hai….. hamare liye itne asan lecture videos banata hai………thank u speed bhai……
I’m talking blood thinner for long time. generally I’m a patient of hocm and now a days another one grow in my heart is af. af giving me so much trouble. sanjay if my comment catch ur eye, pls just give me a mail or give a comment below.
I’ve heard that people taking anticoagulants are advised to not eat cruciferous vegetables due to their effect of increasing the anti coagulant action. Is it possible to reduce or eliminate the need for such drugs by eating PLENTY of these vegetables?
I have Afib occasionally since I was about 30. My mother also had it. I remember as a little boy how she would have to sit down and I’d wonder what was going on. Doctor told her if she was out driving and near their office to stop by for a EKG when she was in AFIB. Anyway, I have taken baby aspirin for years, and recently switched to Eliquis. I have cut myself a few times and haven’t noticed any difference in the bleeding. Eliquis is fairly expensive with my insurance, (in the USA). I do keep on hand some of the products that would stop the bleeding, available at the local drug store. Only used them once, and they worked well. I carry a note in my wallet that I take Eliquis in case I go to the hospital.
Doctor i just stop taking eliquist for about 1.5 months now im taking after i went to ER for an Afib. My cardiologist didnt prescribed my Eliquis again she said just continue my 81mg aspirin. I been taking aspirin on and off,… Em i risj in bleeding for taking 81mg of aspirin? once a day? iam only 42 years old.
Good study. Still thinking 3.4% chance of having a stroke while on ASA only is pretty low? All the patients in this study had symptoms of AfIB? When do you not suffer from AFIB? If you have an Ablation and go 6 months or 1 year without AFIB symptoms, do you still have DX of AFIB? Is the Chad/Vasc score still valid?
I understand the differences between the two, but my question is about the criteria to choose one over the other. For example, why is it that in history of acute myocardial infarction antiplatelets are prescribed for prevention, but they alone would not prevent new stroke? I’m interested in the pathophysiology behind these indications.
Diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation now for 12 months age 73. Watched a lot of your videos and found all of them vey informative thank you w.wood Teignmouth Devon
My wife has afib,brad & tack ( had ASD repair in 1970 when 11 YO). She wanted to try natural blood thinners but was told no test for efficacy.? She’s on Eliquis now.
I work as a community pharmacist and from time to time I review my pharmacology to make sure my knowledge is always up to date! This video helped me recall this area very quick! Thank you so much! I subscribed!
Dr Sanjay! very informative video once again. What is the differnce between Afib and ectopics/ surprise beat? If all echo ultrasound, ECG, thyroid, kidney reports are normal.
hi Doctor, I am from india…my husband is 42-years of age. He is suffering frm LVH and HCM from last 7 years. He is also implanted with ICD about 7 years ago for fast heart beat. He takes MET XL 100 mg once a day. He gets it very rarely and that too for hardly 1 to 2 seconds. Now the battery of ICD will expire within one year and had to be replaced with new one, so my question is whether this ICD should be continued further. As he gets very rarely and he has not received any ICD shocks yet till date, is it necessary…what is ur opinion. i know its not easy to suggest just by this comment…
Thanks, now I understand my case. I have DVT and my doctor give me Xarelto 15 mg 2 x a day for 3 weeks, then 20 mg daily, now I am taking Xarelto for 6 months, now, with Pt,PTT and ultrasound of venous and arteries of my lower legs Please help me know more of my case, thank you
is there nothing a person can do regarding bleeding/ excessive bleeding while taking anticoagulants? for example while shaving or just any cuts or injuries in general?
Very pertinent video. I was diagnosed with AF a year ago and am well controlled with Flecainide and am on Eliquis. There is a warning that sudden discontinuation of Eliquis can cause a stroke. Please explain that and what do you do in case of surgery? How do you wean off of Eliquis in preparation for a procedure or surgery. You are doing a very valuable service with your videos. Thanks.
Very interesting results. I gather this study is regarding internal bleeding. Two and a half years ago, I was admitted to York hospital for emergency angioplasty and was put on Clopidogrel as one of my many daily meds. I’ve since been diagnosed with heart disease. In my job, I can easily cut or scratch my arms, not badly, but I find it difficult to stop the bleeding. What I’d like to know is, is there any cream or similar that will help stop the bleeding quicker. Thanks.
