Experience of anticoagulant therapy in patients with pulmonary embolism

Abstract

Objective — to perform the comparative analysis of the administration of two anticoagulants (dabigatran and warfarin) for the treatment of pulmonary embolism. The demographic and clinical features of the patients in both groups were studied, the clinical likelihood of this pathology according to the original version of the Geneva scale was evaluated, the risks were stratified depending on the symptoms of the clinical course and the frequency of the individual factors’ prevalence. Moreover, the estimations have been given to the bleeding risk, and the frequency of undesirable side effects and new serious cardiovascular complications depending on the selected anticoagulant have been revealed. The complex preventive approach has been proposed with the use of diagnostic scales HAS­BLED an ATRIA Bleeding Risk Score with the aim of reduction of bleeding risk against the background of anticoagulant therapy in patients with pulmonary embolism.
