The Critical Role of the Cardiovascular Team in PAD Recognition and Diagnosis: A Call to Action

This video outlines the critical role of the cardiovascular team in peripheral artery disease (PAD) recognition and diagnosis. Involving multidisciplinary CV team members including nurses, pharmacists, advanced practice providers, and physicians will lead to improved outcomes and reduced disparities for patients with PAD. The video highlights the ankle-brachial index test as a simple and widely available detection tool that CV team members can use in the diagnosis of PAD. A companion manuscript has been endorsed by the following societies, and will be posted once it is published:

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention: The Nurse's Perspective

The John Hopkins VTE Collaborative This module focuses on the nurse’s role in VTE prevention and how to use patient-centered care to help them make educated decisions. It provides an overview of the latest information regarding VTE: prophylaxis, appropriate delivery of pharmacologic and mechanical methods, how to educate patients on VTE, and how to address missed and refused doses. It includes interactive cases, video-based education, and a real-time knowledge assessment. This learning module is accredited for 0.50 ANCC contact hours for nurses.

Practical Teaching Points about DVT, PE, Anticoagulation & Thrombophilia

In support of World Thrombosis Day this presentation is geared toward practicing clinicians and covered:

  • A structured identification and listing about DVTE risk factors
  • Characteristics of venous Doppler ultrasounds that help determine whether a clot is new or old
  • If a clot in the trifurcation is considered a proximal or distal DVT
  • Discussion of the "Recurrence Triangle" - how to think about the risk of recurrent VTE if anticoagulation is stopped
  • The role of thrombophilia testing
