Need to do better for #PE risk stratification, beyond reductionist models. In an European Society of Cardiology Journals #EHJ paper we show that a multimarker calculator🌡️outperforms the ESC model. Great work by David Jiménez 🇪🇸 manuel monreal et al #RIETE! Honored to be a part of it 👇: tinyurl.com/trpmzbrd

🇨🇦 Survey from Thrombosis Canada in @ThiemeMedical: > 50% of Canadians with cancer have little or no awareness of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) — a leading cause of death in cancer. 📊 Only 27% recalled education on CAT risks; most want more info! 👉 doi.org/10.1055/a-2635…

The risk of the composite of fatal PE or recurrent VTE within 90 days is much higher than major bleeding in lung, breast, hematologic or pancreatic cancers No major differences in GU or CI cancers Should all cancer patients with acute VTE receive the same treatment strategy?

Presented at #ESCCongress: In patients with provoked venous thromboembolism and ongoing risk factors, extended treatment with low-dose apixaban for 12 months resulted in a lower risk of recurrent VTE than placebo, with a low risk of major bleeding. Full HI-PRO trial results:

Absolutely incredible Gregory Piazza leading this NEJM Mass General Brigham Research #RCT!! 👏👏 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… It's rare that a single institution RCT is powered for clinical outcomes. #thrombosis #VTE #Anticoagulation Honored to share 5 ys of this journey w you & team.

The VTE-PREDICT score to identify VTE patients at increased risk for bleeding or recurrence, externally validated using #RIETEregistry data Congrats, Tim and team!
