In this episode, Dr. Austin Rupp and I try to answer the following questions:

  • Should patients with provoked VTE be offered long term anticoagulation if they have persistent risk factors, like obesity? 
  • Does coffee make atrial fibrillation worse (or better??)? 
  • Is age-adjusted d-dimer safe to use in DVT? 
  • Should we prescribe beta blockers after acute MI if the EF is normal?
  • Does fish oil improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients on dialysis?
  • What's the best approach for dialysis in patients with acute kidney injury?
