Monitoring New Agents
• INR – specifically calibrated to monitor vitamin K antagonists• New agents affect, but no correlation with efficacy or
safety• May affect first 2 days when transitioning to warfarin
• Direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran) • Diluted thrombin time (TT) evolving
• Factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban & apixaban)• PT affected more than PTT• Linear response, but reagent specific
Reversing New Agents
• Dabigatran (Pradaxa®)• 60% dialyzed• Distributes to tissue early, then serum rebound
• Rivaroxaban (Xarelto®) & Apixaban (Eliquis®)• Not dialyzed
• Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC)• Factor VII
General Reminder for New Agents
• Avoid “indication creep” • Avoid in patients with a prosthetic heart valve• Be vigilant in dosing adjustments
• Changes in renal function• Changes in indications (post-ortho patient diagnosed
with atrial fibrillation)• Compliance is extremely important because of short
duration of effects
SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Atrial fibrillation and Stents
• Chest. 2012; 141(suppl 2): e531S-e575S• CHAD2 score ≥ 2 (Grade 2C)
• Triple therapy duration (warfarin + DAPT)• Bare-metal stent – 1 month• Drug-eluting stent – 3 months
• After triple therapy, continue warfarin and a single anti-platelet agent until 12 months after stent placement
• After 12 months, warfarin alone• CHAD2 score 0-1 (Grade 2C)
• DAPT for 12 months
Atrial fibrillation and ACS
• CHADS2 score ≥ 1 with ACS not receiving stents
• Warfarin plus single anti-platelet therapy for the first 12 months rather than DAPT or triple therapy x12 months (Grade 2C)
• CHADS2 score of 0 or 1
• DAPT recommended over warfarin plus single antiplatelet therapy or triple therapy x 12 months (Grade 2C).
• After the first 12 months, antithrombotic therapy is suggested as for patients with AF and stable coronary artery disease (eg, warfarin only) (Grade 2C)
Atrial fibrillation and Stable CAD
• If on warfarin and no ACS within past year, warfarin only recommended over warfarin plus aspirin. (Grade 2C)
PRIMARY PREVENTION WITH ASA
USPSTF¶ Men Women
MI<49 years: ASA not recommendedAge 45-79 years: ASA benefit outweighs GI bleed risk
ASA not recommended
Stroke ASA not recommended<55 years: ASA not recommended55-79 years: ASA if benefit outweighs GI bleed risk
ADA# Diabetics >50 years* Diabetics >60 years*
*Consider ASA (81-162 mg/day) if ≥ 1 risk factor (family history or CVD, HTN, smoking, dyslipidemia or albuminuria)

Outpatient PE Treatment
• CHEST 2012;141;e419S-e494S• 5.5 In patients with low-risk PE whose home
circumstances are adequate, we suggest early discharge over standard discharge (eg, after 5 days of treatment) Grade 2B
Potential Outpatient CandidatesBased on acute symptomatic PE, PESI – PE Severity Index
1. Clinically stable with good cardiopulmonary reserve• PESI score <85 or simplified PESI of 0 if none of:
• SBP < 100• Recent bleeding• Severe chest pain• Platelets <70,000/mm3 (on anticoagulant therapy)• Severe hepatic or renal disease
2. Good social support with ready access to medical care
3. Expected to be compliant with follow-up
LMWH Dosing
• 5.4.2. In patients with acute PE treated with LMWH, we suggest once- over twice-daily administration (Grade 2C) .
• Remarks: This recommendation only applies when the approved once-daily regimen uses the same daily dose as the twice-daily regimen (ie, the once-daily injection contains double the dose of each twice-daily injection). It also places value on avoiding an extra injection per day.
Avoid ‘Bridging a Bridge”
… using newer anticoagulants instead of heparin while waiting for a therapeutic INR
Clopidogrel: Treatment Failure vs Resistance
• Treatment failure (clinical observation)• Non-compliance• Individual variation in ADP-mediated platelet response
• Resistance• In-complete blockade of P2Y12 receptor• Proton pump inhibitors
• Clopidogrel label • Includes omeprazole & esomeprazole as DI’s• Pantoprozole will be moved to preferred status by AR
Medicaid July 9th, esomeprazole moved to non-preferred
Genotype Variability
• P2Y12 receptor variability• Drug transport (MDR1)• CYP2C19 has >25 known variant alleles
• Most common dysfunction• ∼15% of Caucasians and Africans• 29-35% Asians

ADP 2Y12 assay
• Light transmission platelet aggregometry endorsed by platelet specialists as standard of care
• Available assays correlate poorly with each other and only modestly predict clinical outcome (sensitivity 55-63%, specificity 59-64%)
• Other medications can interfere with assays• Lack of universally accepted cut-off value for resistance• “Bedside monitoring” and dose adjustment hasn’t been
shown to be beneficial (NEJM 2012;367:2100-2109)
