Guest: Cheryl Maier MD, PhD

Heparin resistance occurs when patients don’t respond to anticoagulation as expected, even with what seems like the appropriate dose. Join Dr. Cheryl Maier, who spoke about this topic at the 2024 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, to learn more about testing methods, the role of antithrombin, and alternative treatments, like direct thrombin inhibitors. Dr. Maier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University and the Medical Director of the Emory Special Coagulation Laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia.
