Risk of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Bioaccumulation in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Abstract
Patients treated for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) frequently receive vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for PAH or validated indications (such as atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism). In these latter indications, VKAs are challenged by direct oral anticoagulants (DOAs). Decreased dosage of DOAs has been proposed in patients at risk of bioaccumulation.
