Abstract
With regard to the aging population, there are more and more individuals on anticoagulation therapy for atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Number of patients on direct anticoagulants has been increased in the last 10 years and therefore also general practitioners get into the contact with them.
General practitioners cannot prescribe these drugs yet, but it is important to be familiar with correct indications, dosage, monitoring and perioperative management.
