Dr. Julie Atay discusses her poster, "Cost Analysis of Substituting Dabigatran for Warfarin in an Anticoagulant Management Program," at ACC's 60th Annual Scientific Sessions. Dr. Atay provides a quick explanation about the two objectives her colleagues and she were evaluating: 1) The percentage of patients already on Warfarin who qualified to be on Dabigatran; and 2) The direct costs associated with switching patients from Warfarin to Dabigatran.
