Patient Survey about Blood Thinner Preferences

Patients who take blood thinners because they’ve had deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) are being recruited for a new survey about blood thinner preferences.

The study is being conducted at the University of Minnesota by Dr. Pamela Lutsey.  The goal of the study is to learn more about patients’ concerns and preferences regarding blood thinner use for the treatment of DVT and PE.

According to Dr. Stephan Moll of the University of North Carolina, the results will help investigators better create future clinical studies to improve  treatment of DVT and PE.
