Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Guidelines often underrepresent real-life patients: the elderly, those with polypharmacy, cancer, chronic inflammation, or end-stage renal disease. This Special Issue aims at providing updated insights into the management of antithrombotic therapy in “difficult-to-treat” populations. Topics include adaptations in frail patients, cardio-oncology interfaces, antithrombotics in dialysis and transplant candidates, and management in rare or overlapping syndromes. Clinical studies, expert perspectives, and practical approaches are all welcome.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in JCM.
Prof. Dr. Leonardo De Luca
