Excellent talk on MACE in iTTP by Max Brodsky @BloodClotDoc ⭐️MACE occurs earlier in iTTP surv compared to gen pop ⭐️MACE ⬆️ in iTTP surv than those w/ traditional risk factors like CAD/PAD ⭐️Close f/u and mgmt of CV risk factors is needed in these pts #ISTH2021

Glycoproteins VI is a predictor of major bleeding in suspected HIT patients. Interesting implications for intensity of AC treatment while awaiting confirmatory testing, esp w intermediate probability 4T scores ashpublications.org/bloodadv…
Excellent figure on differential dx and mgmt of #TTP in pregnancy from recent How I Treat in @BloodJournal
A "How I treat" article on management of pregnancy in women with congenital and acquired #TTP has been accepted by Blood. Only the submitted manuscript version is currently available. It requires personal or institutional subscription to Blood to access. tinyurl.com/yy2tzetj
